PDP’s once-elusive Riffmaster guitar controller is now readily available

Fortnite Festival here we come.

With second-hand Fender Stratocaster guitars for Rock Band 4 still fetching high prices on the resale market nearly a decade later, it’s no surprise that PDP’s recent Riffmaster controller has been challenging to find. With an edgier appearance that makes it look like a Brutal Legend weapon, the Riffmaster replicates the functionality of the original Rock Band 4 guitar while sprinkling in some unique tricks of its own. The neck also hides an analog stick on the underside for more straightforward menu navigation, and there are volume controls built into the D-pad and a 3.5mm audio jack for wired headsets.
