That is really interesting, wondering about the price and longevity though.

Gibson MSRP 2.5k :(

[Poee7R]

Actually not as bad as i thought it would be.Its a Gibson so its gonna be a bit hefty. I wonder which demographic they're targetting. Most people that would spend 2k+ on a guitar can tune one. :confused:

lazy bastards like myself :D

seriously, IMO, for a working Guitarist, while on stage, the ability to press a control and in two seconds the instrument is auto tuned, is a major advantage.

Wow, that's pretty insane!! :eek:

[Demiurge]

That's some interesting technology, but beyond that I don't see any usefulness. A really good Chromatic tuner is $20....So if it's at this price just for the tuning I would say it's not at all worth it. I'd rather put that much change towards a Les Paul Custom.

[carpenter]

According to the specs (http://www.gibson.com/robotguitar/) you're getting Les Paul custom level hardware (Mahogany and maple, pick ups .... etc.).
Besides I'm pretty sure the system could be mounted on any Les Paul (or any Guitar ...?).
