NIWOT, CO--(Marketwire - November 15, 2007) - ArtGuitar®, a leading designer of custom
graphics for electric and acoustic guitars, announced today the launch of
the limited edition AG RiffMaster™ Guitar Controller, the world's first
genuine Peavey® guitar modified for play with guitar-based music
videogames on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.
Exclusively available online at www.ArtGuitar.com, the limited edition AG
RiffMaster Guitar Controller includes 17 limited edition designs featuring
mega artists KISS, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera, Megadeth and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
"The AG RiffMaster Guitar Controller is ideal for anyone seeking the most
realistic interaction with guitar-based music videogames," stated Steve
Spurgeon, CEO of ArtGuitar. "With the quality and value of a real guitar
customized with iconic rock band artwork valued at $1,500 and up, the
limited edition AG RiffMaster offered at $399 is an amazing value for music
enthusiasts, collectors and gamers alike."
Created from a real Peavey guitar, ArtGuitar has preserved the qualities
found in the original makeup of the instrument. The guitar strings have
been removed, but the headstock of the AG RiffMaster Guitar Controller
still sports real tuning pegs for an added visual appeal. Crafted from
natural basswood, the body displays custom artwork showcasing 17 unique
designs featuring five legendary rock bands. The neck, created from hard
rock maple, features five colored fret buttons located amongst true frets
and position markers on a genuine fingerboard while the pickup consists of
one humbucking and a scale length of 25.5". The guitar controller also
features premium 2.4GHz wireless technology for high-performance precision
gaming.
Best known for its patented process that digitally paints images onto real
guitars, ArtGuitar transforms the instruments into collectible
masterpieces. Using the same state-of-the-art technology, ArtGuitar and
Peavey are bringing exclusive, limited edition rock designs to a guitar
controller for the first time.
The limited edition AG RiffMaster Guitar Controller is available this
holiday season only, and is being sold exclusively at www.ArtGuitar.com. A
broad range of premium accessories will also be offered from the online
shop including a top of the line hard shell electric guitar case, Peavey
