CRKD has officially begun shipping the Gibson Les Paul Cherry Sunburst Pro Collector Edition Bundle, a premium collectible guitar controller set designed for rhythm-game fans and hardware collectors alike. First revealed at IGN Fan Fest last month, the new bundle arrives just in time for holiday gatherings. With compatibility across PC, PC handhelds, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, Android devices, and smart TVs, it’s positioned as one of the most versatile guitar-gaming accessories on the market.
At the heart of the bundle is the Gibson-licensed Les Paul Cherry Sunburst Guitar Controller, a gorgeously finished replica featuring a high-gloss lacquer, integrated pickguard artwork, and an engraved stainless-steel Collector’s Edition medallion mounted on the back. The classic Les Paul styling continues up the neck, where each included fret attachment carries the iconic Les Paul Model signature.
The package doesn’t stop at looks. CRKD includes two separate fret necks – the Brown Signature Les Paul OG Pro and the Brown Signature Les Paul Solo Pro – letting players swap between classic and more competitive layouts. The bundle also packs in a Gibson x CRKD shoulder strap, two collector pins, a wireless dongle, a sticker sheet, a USB-C charging cable, a rechargeable battery, and a custom CRKD x Gibson backpack that stores the guitar body and both necks in dedicated compartments. It’s a full collector’s kit, right down to the presentation.
Beyond aesthetics, the controller introduces several standout technical upgrades. CRKD’s Hall Effect strum bar with haptic feedback aims to deliver higher precision and durability than traditional mechanical strum bars, while mechanical fret buttons improve responsiveness. A Hall Effect whammy bar, reactive RGB lighting, platform switch, mode dial, and a hidden D-Pad built into the back of the headstock round out a surprisingly feature-rich design.
For players interested in revisiting the classics, Legacy Mode enables support for many older Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles on supported PlayStation consoles. Meanwhile, KEYJAM Mode maps the controller as a keyboard and mouse, allowing the guitar to be used in Fortnite Festival across modern platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5, expanding its use far beyond traditional music games.
Connectivity options are equally generous, offering wired low-latency mode, a 2.4 GHz wireless dongle for PC and consoles, and Bluetooth for mobile devices. Owners can take customization even further through CRKD’s CTRL app, which adds firmware updates, RGB and sensitivity tuning, remapping options, tilt controls, and collectible tracking via the brand’s True Collection System.
The CRKD Gibson Les Paul Cherry Sunburst Pro Collector Edition Bundle is available now for $199.99 USD.
