ArtGuitar Unveils
the AG RiffMaster™ Limited Edition Guitar Controller for Playstation 2

 

Genuine Peavey
Guitar Modified for Music Videogame Use Features Exclusive Artwork
Showcasing Mega Rock Artists KISS, Pantera and Lynyrd Skynyrd

ArtGuitar®, a leading designer of
innovative custom paint and technology for guitars, announced today plans to
release the limited edition AG RiffMaster™
Guitar Controller
, a genuine life-size
Peavey®
guitar modified for play with guitar based music videogames on
the Playstation®2 computer entertainment system. Under license by Signatures
Network, the limited edition item will showcase ArtGuitar’s unique paintings
featuring several iconic rock bands on Signatures Network’s roster, including
KISS, Pantera and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

ArtGuitar is best known for its patented process that digitally paints images
onto real guitars, transforming the instruments into collectible masterpieces.
Using the same state-of-the-art technology, ArtGuitar and Peavey® will bring
exclusive, limited edition designs to a guitar controller for the first time.
For this holiday season only, each design displayed on the body of the
AG RiffMaster™ Guitar Controller
will feature a limited edition image of
a rock band or artist. Unlike other custom paint jobs, the ArtGuitar image lasts
as long as the guitar because it is painted on using a quality finish that
contains the same properties as the original paint on the guitar and is followed
by a professional clear coat and buffing by the luthiers in the Peavey® Custom
Shop.

“We’ve partnered with Peavey Electronics to take gaming to a whole new
sophisticated level,” stated Steve Spurgeon, CEO of ArtGuitar. “From the moment
you pick up the AG RiffMaster™ Guitar Controller
you will find yourself immersed in the truest rock n’ roll videogame experience
around, and you’ll never want to go back to those plastic guitars again.”

The limited edition AG RiffMaster™ Guitar
Controller
features the sleek outer shell and weight of a real Peavey®
guitar, providing the most authentic music videogame experience possible.
Crafted from natural rosewood, the neck features five colored fret buttons
located amongst real frets and position markers on a genuine fingerboard. The
solid strum bar is strategically placed above the pickup and allows players to
transfer smoothly from note to chord without missing a beat, while the whammy
bar features a tight, smooth spring. 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.

ArtGuitar has partnered with well-known instrument manufacturer, Peavey®
Electronics, to launch the AG RiffMaster™ Guitar
Controller
. Under the deal Peavey will manufacturer the guitar controller
while ArtGuitar will create the guitar’s limited edition, custom artwork and
distribute the product.

The limited edition AG RiffMaster™ Guitar
Controller
will be released Holiday 2007 and is available for pre-order
