Gibson Robot Guitar


Gibson has launched the 6th of December 2007 a self tuning guitar. Can you believe it?! :o Its name is the Robot Guitar, a blue silverburst Les Paul limited edition guitar, and the player doesn't need to know guitar tuning. Just by pressing the string it will tune up to the standard A440. Also, there are six presets that are really accesible and easy to use (just need to press a button :D). Basically, the information of each string is captured by the Data Transmitting Tailpeace and the Tune Control Bridge (a modified Tune-o-Matic) and sent to the Neck CPU, and from there, to the Powerhead Locking Tuner, which holds a small servo motor that automatically will rotate the tuning peg to the desired tuning. Wicked!
