Self Tuning Guitar

Last weekend I got to try out the Gibson Robot Guitar. This handy guitar tunes ITSELF! Dave Faber of Faber Drive has the guitar on loan from Gibson, and naturally I couldn't resist playing with it.

The guitar has special tuners with motors and servo's that work with a built in computer to tune the strings in a matter of seconds. All you have to do is pull out the fancy knob on the body, select the tuning you want, push the button, and strum the guitar once. The lights on the knob start blinking like crazy, the tuners turn themselves, and when all the lights are green you're ready to play!

  2. mmmm.. Not so sure it's on loan.. I think he own's that sucka.. That ver 1.0 thing that has a little ways to go before I'll trust them.. However they are good to use if you need to quickly go from one tuning to another.. (that is.. if they work..)
