So, while reading Dagbladet online today, I notice this little clip (or, to be honest, commercial from Gibson) about the new robot guitar from Gibson:
Is this just me, or is this a whole bunch of electronics to "correct" a problem (tuning your guitar) which isn't really a problem at all? Yes, there are many people that never learn to play guitar, but not beeing able to tune the guitar has never been the main reason. Also, I you master all those tunings on the guitar (standard, open E, open Em, open G, DADGAD, double drop-D, etc), you are not really a novice on the guitar. And the beginner is the only player I could see benefit from this.

Agreed - this is a complete waste.
Not to mention - good luck getting this to work on a whammy-equipped guitar with string locks

Why on earth would anybody do that to a guitar?
;-)
...in case you wanna be all technical and stuff?

Not "authentic", you mean?
..yeah; real authentic......as in not reproducible guitar licks and tone
The Gibson is already expensive - how much extra is this feature gonna run ya?
I don't know how much it will cost. This is a limited run, the production guitar will be released late 2008.

Like at whammy-bar ever has improved the tone of a guitar...
Oh, but there is a robot guitar up for grabs on the 'bay for a mere 4,724 USD...
....Vai?
Also - that's a real bargain, broski.
You can get a Jem AND a Satriani signature for that
Jupp. I still don't see the application for this guitar. Beginners with too much money on their hand?
Or it could be just a step in the development of some useful new electronics in a future guitar. Maybe.
