Well...it certainly is an unattracive color combination! (Unless you're a Dallas Cowboys fan)

Appears to be a $1,000 Les Paul Studio with a $1,400 automatic tuning system!   ;D


I think I'll wait several generations until all the kinks are worked out of something like that.
The "SELF-TUNING GUITAR" has been around for several years as an expensive specialized mod called the Transperformance as used by Jimmy Page & Sonny Landreth Cost about $3,000 and works well by adjusting the bridge (not the tuners). AND the Transperformance is QUICK, while the Gibson system is said to be rather slow. Apparently, the Transperformance mechanism is the much, much better version.




Buying one of these Gibsons now seems like being the first to buy the original POD from LINE 6...only to see it get upgraded about nine months later.

We certainly live in interesting times!   ;)

I'll tune my own guitar and save the $1,400.00 thank you.

Local store here bought 10 of them.
All were sold in less than a week.
If self tuning is your thing then I guess the Robot Guitar is a dream come true.
For me, it's just something else I don't really care about.  ;D

Iz okay!

Our pastor in Washington D.C. says even some Dallas Cowboy fans could conceivably get into heaven.  :o

He didn't exactly explain how that could possibly work...but I'll take his word on it.   ;D
