Wow! have any of you seen this Gibson Robot guitar? Go to gibson.com and in the upper right hand corner click "robot guitar". Find the video section and play the last video. I think it's called "instructions". Crazy. |

Yeah i recently read an article about the company that developed this technology. Gibson didn't invent it. I just see it as useless technology. I have no problem changing tunings on my own. Whats next a guitar that will need no human to play it. |

I agree Fishtown. It's pretty freaky. |

I think I have seen the guitars that do not need humans as a prize on a game show. Rather like a player piano. |

Yep. The systems for retrofitting are freely available (at least one big German webstore stocks them). Servos, one per tuner, computer controlled, lots of mass on the headstock...slicker than the transperformance system, but still a ton of extra hardware, and lots of money (700 bucks, off the top of my head). |
