I like it can i get it on my jackson

That is awesome. Is it made by Gibson or is it afternarket?

Sweetness, I just looked at the sight its out in certain places in 23 days, and out everywhere next year.

After the initial shock of seeing a guitar tune itself, I will go back to what I said about the VG Stratocaster.

The electric guitar is a simple instrument and is no place for processors

I remember back in the early 70's when tuners were very expensive and very few people had them.
I would have to put "Born on the Bayou" on my record player just to get a true E note and then tune the other strings with harmonics

Then tuners came down in price and everybody had one.

Mow the guitars tune themselves

I guess built in loopers are next

the only thing that really appeals to me is the intonation part. that was pretty cool.

I'm reminded about when Gibson introduced with great fanfare.....drum roll please...

The 1st Digital Guitar. And Rolling Stone magazine was all over it with orgasmic glee! It was an overpriced Les Paul with an ethernet connector. There were two problems with it.

1) Roland and Line6 beat Gibson to the punch, Roland by over a decade and Line6 by about a couple of years.

2) There was nothing to connect the guitar to. So you had to spend extra money to buy an interface to be able to connect the digital Les Paul to a guitar amp.

Basically, my thoughts are, the robotic tuner sounds like a cool idea. But how much will it cost? Will it add enough value that will make musicians compelled to buy it? I don't have the answer to those questions. For me, a robotic tuner seems like a cool idea, my stage tuner and fingers work fine enough for me. For those who do gigs where they need different tunings in a set, there it seems to have value......as long as the price is right.

Well, I still can't see video posted here, but I did read an article on this. I think the strength of this guitar is alternate tunings at the touch of a button. Not needing to have 3 or 4 guitars already set up with alternate tunings is a nice thing. Since I play 12 string stuff, it's always a pain to retune. (Hell, it's a pain to tune in the first place!) Prior to handheld tuners, (yeah, I'm one of those guys who paid almost $200 for one in the late 70's, that today costs about $20,) tuning a 12 was a horrible task. (Still is a pain...) WIth the advent of the electronic tuner, my guitars never sounded so good.

I don't see it as that much of a gimick. A properly tuned and intonated guitar is a thing of beauty. Having your guitar keep itself in tune is worth the cost. What isn't worth the cost, is what happens when the thing quits working? If you don't have a clue how to tune your guitar, I can see a lot of them hitting EBay. At a base starting price of $2500, (for the whole guitar, not just the robotic part,) you could get a really nice Gibby off EBay in a year or so, (that you'll have to tune yourself, which isn't any different than what we deal with now,) for cheap!

Innovation is a good thing. And as far as tuning snobs go... How many piano players do you know who have the skills, tools, and patience it takes to tune a piano?

I think it's cool, and more importantly, it LOOKS cool!

Wierd stuff...
I still prefer my ears and fingers to do that job.
It could be useful on stage, but good guitars usually don't go out of tune that fast...

wow thats pretty awesome.
i think that i still would prefer to tune by eear though
i kind of enjoy matching the tones
