Project Updates
Update as of August 17th, 2025
The RIFFSTICK PCB 1.1 will restock every few weeks. I am working on new body designs and some new products.
My store should soon be selling non RIFFSTICK accessories, such as expanded magnet variety, guitar wall holders, and more.
I recommend you check out the "Creators" page, showcasing other guitar controllers and part sellers you should definitely check out!
Future Ideas & Project Goals
More Magnets!
Currently you can buy a 2 pack of RIFFSTICK magnets. These are on the product page for purchase now and use two neodymium magnets.
However, soon I am planning on making guitar controller shaped magnets for many other controllers! The official Strat, Xplorer, Les Paul, Kramer, etc etc. This is a future idea with no timeline. But for updates on developments and projects, sign up for email notifications on the "Contact" page.
