happened to pass by the website... and wow! a self-tuning guitar?!

maybe this guitar will give fender's VG strat a run for its money....

 

[AaronSoFat]

Whoa.. cool.. too bad there's only a les paul version. Don't really like Les Paul's. not that i would have enough money to buy one of these anyway.. haha. but damn cool. tunes by itself..

 

[KennethC]

freakin cool guitar....might make me think of getting a LP in the future...man!

 

[HarrisonYeo]

pretty old news already man , but the self tuning system is freakign expensive.

 

[FiS]

its really innovative of gibson coming up with the robot guitar
but the video on robot kills strat wasnt neccessary at all i think

 

[optisailor2002]

the self tuning thing is pretty old already, but the concept sounds pretty good. like les paul shapes but dont like the playability of les pauls haha.

 

[fiqthefallen]

i noe, i did some search on auto tuning before and there was one company that specialises in it, but that's JUST the tuners. the thing about one is that the whole les paul is wired up with circuit boards right up to the headstock. wonder if it'll have any effect on its tone...

 

[optisailor2002]

oh wells wont that thing make the headstock heavier. dunno, i wouldnt want to jump around with a guitar with a heavy headstock xD

 

[theunknown]

cool guitar maan.
will it come to singapore?
soft MUST review if it comes.

 

[Gr3yF0x]

hahah only limited numbers are produced, and only swee lee is selling them in singapore. website says there's only 10 pieces per retailer.

yea,maybe Sub wld get his hands on one... Lol.tht'll be sUper cool.... it'll most probly a three page review of the guitar and twenty pages of mechanics.

About time Subversion receives a PhD from us...

i actually find the 'robot kills strat' freakin hillarious
i think they effing dug the guitar body empty for all the electronics to fit in, and the motorised tuners will make the headstock bloody heavy. but still a kickass design nonetheless. just wondering if special strings are required for all the open tunings without causing buzzes

 

[D'arc~en~ciel]

ahah..yea,just checked out e video too.. Lol.

well,my main worry is the amount of battery life it uses. does it include a rechargeable guitar-stand or smth?
-Neat. it'll go nicely beside my phone charger..

 

[rottenramone]

is it an autobot or decepticon?

 

[optisailor2002]

its optimus prime in disguise.
