I'm HOOKED - PDP Riffmaster Guitar Review 

speaking about the price, GH3 (w/ the guitar) was about 100 USD (99.99) on release in 2007 and adjusting for inflation that's about 149.65 USD. The price is not that bad AND with the ability to connect to PC you can play YARG and Clone Hero with whatever songs you want.

I hope they make more of these and and keep producing them so I can get one because it’s hella sold out rn

bit of a correction to your video about the lower frets. This is not a PDP idea it's actually a Rock Band thing and probably a requirement for PDP to put them on. In Rock Band games (all the way back to Rock Band 1) the lower frets could be used to play the smaller frets which had the white glow on top of them (I forgot what they are called) without strumming, essentially tapping on the strings if it was a guitar and to mimic this. The very first Rock Band 1 guitar had them and was a requirement for peripherals ever since for that functionality.

Love guitar hero and rockband, so excited to get this🔥

I wish they made enough guitars or at least mentioned when the preorders was gonna drop like mentioned, hopefully they put another preorder up asap.

considering you can use the ps5 controller on ps3 has anyone tried using this on ps3 to work with the older games

1000% agree that the Guitar Hero guitars were the best. Specifically, the ones shipped with GH3. Both the frets and strum were so smooth, and the Rock Band ones didn't quite measure up. Though the Rock Band drums always felt better than GH to me. Of course, I haven't tried and e-kit yet though. Either way, excited to get one of these to play again.

I ordered two and it was 273.53 usd😳 However I’ve been buying used guitar controllers for years on eBay and Mercari and I always seem to have problems with them eventually. So I’m really happy to have two brand new ones!

I really hope they switch to mechanical switches like the later Guitar Hero controllers did. Hell, make it a feature that you can change the strum bar's click profile by swapping out different keyboard switches.

As someone who really only played GH3 back then, i'm excited to jump back into music games and preordered 2 Riffmasters. I only had the 1 guitar for GH3 and when the strum bar eventually broke on me I just stopped playing. Almost $300 for 2 guitars now, but at least they're brand new and i'm covered in case one craps out.

I LOVED Guitar Hero because of their controller. When i got Rock Band, i hated their guitar controller so much that i basically ignored and only played the drums on that game. So i am disappointed to hear you say that this is closer to a RB gtr controller.

have you tested the ps5 guitar on PC? I'm really torn on which version to buy because PDP is claiming that only the xbox guitar is compatible with pc.

No one seems to know the jaguar also folded

Does it work with Guitar Hero World Tour on PC? (Specifically the Definitive Edition mod)

Will this work with rock band vr

The fender Jaguar (released in 2016) was also foldable.. Stuck with RB4?! You make it sound like something bad. RB4 has a bigger dlc library and you actually own the content you purchase.

Did I see that right? Disconnecting the neck was on a hinge? Please tell me it locks in w/o the hinge...

I do like the look of it. Hearing about the spongey strumbar though honestly makes me tempted to not get it until I see someone remove it manually. Also not being wired kind of sucks; Wireless is decent, but there's always latency and the chance that the battery starts to go bad and doesn't hold the charge as long as it's supposed to.

"BuT iT WaS CaNcElLeD!!111" lol

how is the lag when playing rock band 4 the wii guitar had lag when playing rock band

Does it have lots of latency?

i'm not sure about these PDP guitars, but i've had basically almost all types of guitar controllers from the PS3 era (RB1 Strat, RB3 red Strat, Beatles RB Hofner, GH3 gibson, GH 5 Guitar, Rip-off GH4 Multi-platform guitar), and out of all of those, i honestly just LOVE the RB1 and RB3 Red guitars, especially the RB3. i started with the GH5 red/white guitar and i felt that its buttons just feel really cheap and non-ergonomic, i found myself having sour fingers after just a few minutes of playing on extreme difficulty (the annoying part with these controllers is that they have marks on the guitar neck which really dig into your fingers when playing heavier tracks). then i bought the RB Beatles band pack (just because i really wanted drums and this pack was so so cheap), i immediately liked the buttons and quality feel of that Hofner guitar, stopped using my GH guitars entirely, but the Hofner guitar was really not that comfortable, the guitar neck of the Hofner is a lot longer than the Stratocaster, which makes playing with it kind of a stretch because you literally have to stretch your arm to play with it - which makes it super uncomfortable to play while sitting - so i then bought a red RB3 stratocaster and holy shit i just fucking love the living hell out of this guitar controller, it feels super solid and high quality, it is soo comfortable i can literally play for HOURS and not have sour fingers - it is just amazing! i then wanted to get a GOOD 2nd guitar for when i have friends over so we can play together, so i found a really good deal on a brand new RB1 Stratocaster and tried it out - it also was just so much better than any GH controller i've ever had, it doesn't feel like it has such a high build quality like the red stratocaster, but it looks and feels so much better than anything that came out of GH. anyway, i was wondering if anyone had ever compared the older RB3 Madcatz controllers to the newer PDP replicas of them? are there any significant differences, or PDP just bought the assembly and manufacturing plans from defunct Madcatz and just continued producing the exact same plastic guitars? this Riffmaster looks like a significant step-back compared to the RB3 Madcatz red stratocaster i have, it kind of reminds me the build quality of the RB1 Stratocasters

This is the perfect time for this peripheral to come out, we're now grown humans with jobs from when Rockband 1 came out and have (a little) money to spend on these kinds of things.

So is it compatible with Fortnite yet? I'm thinking about picking one up, but idk if it'll work lol

Accounting for inflation $130 USD isnt cheap, but is not bad either.

I wish they would have a version without the analog stick on the back of the headstock. I've ALWAYS rested my thumb there and I feel like it will throw off yearly 20 years of muscle memory for me

Does it work on Clone Hero?

Does this work with guitar hero live?

Does the ps controller work for pc?

I’ve never played with a soft strum bar. I hope it’s not too bad

The only thing I'm disappointed in is that it's not six fret compatible. It would have been nice if the upper frets were five and the lower ones were six (or vice versa). Or, better yet, put six a six fret setup just below the upper fives.

Does it work with clone hero? That’s the main question

They need to bring back the legacy adapter

Ugh, spongy strum bar is a deal breaker for me, especially at that price.

Why is the ps5 version 200 euros on Amazon France :(

I'm waiting for Fortnite Festival to release more songs I would even want to play, and in the meantime maybe another guitar will come out that has a clicky strum bar and/or more colors to choose from. Since I'm on PC, my Raphnet adapted Wii guitar can use a third party program to be used with Festival, I'm just waiting for my specific adapter to work with the FestivalInstrumentMapper utility

What game is this for?

I would get PDP Riffmaster Guitar but they might bundle it with the remake of rock band for ps5 switch and Xbox because they remake rock band

I played so much GH back in the day that it ruined my hand.The songs just kept getting harder and harder as the titles were released and had to just call it quits. I can't even play it anymore because of the pain that I get in the back of my hand.

Will colored notes/lanes come to Fortnite Festival when this guitar drops?

does it work with ps3?

I mean, PDP also made the rock band guitars lol

New Guitar Hero game, anyone?

The Jaguar was foldable.

I never liked the GH strumbars or the buttons. When RB came out with their strumbars and buttons, I never gone back. So happy this controller is like a RB controller!

Can RockBand 2 guitars work with this dongle?

Can you test if DJMax Respect V is compatible? It's a music rhythm game on PS4, Xbox, and steam. If the guitar works for it, I just might have to grab one.

So it's the rockband jaguar but with a dongle.

I love that they added the joystick and the foldable feature. That being said I'm not paying almost $150 for a modified rock band guitar.

I dont like the way those buttons look. Can I get a good clone hero player that uses GH guitars tell me how this is?

guitar hero world tour definitive edition

I think the worst thing about that guitar, other than the non-tactile strum bar Is the fact that they chose to make it glossy like that. Just handling it for the video, the thing looks disgusting. They could've gone with a matte finish so at least it wouldn't only look good for the first 30 seconds after you take it out of the box

Used guitars are going for upwards of $200. I'd say the price is pretty far all things considered.

The lower frets, a feature of rock and guitars and later guitar hero ones, foldable neck, a feature on rockband guitars, man kinda knows nothing about these guitar controllers…

Dongle for Xbox version? Dafuq

8 minutes of video and no actual gameplay…👍😐
