The World's First Robot Guitar - Scream

[caulinrocker1]

this technology should be reserved for epiphone and floyd rose equipped guitars

[marcosbl100]

lol if i were him, i would have said OMG A GIBSON LES PAUL ROBOT!!!, IM VERY HAPPY!!, instead of screaming

[PeterRosenqvist]

Lighten up folks !!

The robot guitar does many different tunings in almost no time at all.

Of cause it's an expensive tuner, but you can make quick tunings on the fly.

Cool device, I only hope all the built in tech vil last.

It's pretty much comparing gps to old fashioned maps, both vork fine, but why not take advantage of and enjoy new technology ??

[RedTV8888]

im not saying its stupid to tune by hand but this guitar was just made to making tuning a lot easier, and thats exactly what it did.

[RedTV8888]

oh come on guys quit bitching about the guitar being able to tune itself, its a really cool invention, and just because people have this guitar doesn't mean that they cant tune a guitar by themselves. its meant to be convenient for the person who is playing the guitar. for example, if your on stage and your out of tune, its a lot easier and quicker to have the guitar tune itself in five seconds rather than you actually taking at least twenty awkward quiet seconds on stage to tune your guitar.

[rusher38]

Pros of this guitar: (live) You play a variety of songs, each with different tunings, just hit the knob and you can play another song in a second! You also only have to bring one guitar with you if you aren't going everywhere in the world!

Cons: It costs a lot, if you aren't changing tunings on your guitar then it isn't worth it for you. You should be able to tune to your preferable tuning.

[jplesner]

i understand why you dont want to spent that much, but for musicians who needs to tune down in the middle of a gig...

[quainhankid14]

How can people play guitar when they can't even tune their fucking guitars ?

[nlo13]

You know how they have automatic pianos? I'd love to see an automatic guitar

[metal9melter]

@nlo13 its called a smart guitar

[jacknuts22]

Never seen a more douche guitar in my life.

[beaglemanzzz]

Silly guitars, with your strings and stuff.

[MoveTutor]

Technology advances. It was bound to happen.

[keo774]

I LOST 30 SECONDS OF MY LIFE

[reaperdemi]

i dont like the fact robots are doing everything almost, even tuning your damn guitar in :( like anyone who plays guitar dont know how to tune it in themselfs........WTF!!! no way

[DH31701]

Original Floyd Roses stayes in tune perfectly

[CrazyDude10528]

why would i pay for a guitar that tunes it for me when is alot more to be lazy instead of just tuning it on my own.

[FarBeyondDriven28]

they should make a guitar that setups by itself haha specially for floyd nrose...although its fun setting up your guitar!

[chitarristamrceko]

ahhaha it's fantastic

[EmericanGangstarr]

this guy has problems his fuckin guitar keeps fuckin tryin to kill him! lol

[ps3fanforever]

@EmericanGangstarr I Lol'd when he yelled.

[Octane2009]

SHUT UP AND TUNE UR OWN FUCKING GUITAR!

[mcshfiftyfive55]

ok, first off, they robot les pauls feel pretty good, but the sound is killed severely, unless ur gonna have a bunch of gain or distortion, they sound really bad

[DuskY1991]

Just give me a normal one, I'd be happier with that than this robot thing. =P

[Pepper2Jason]

les paul custom with a bigsby all day!

wish i had one tho

[DuskY1991]

That sounds interesting! I've never seen a paul with a bigsby, haha.

[thaaxe]

im not really a huge gibson fan, ibanez kicks ass though... so does schecter

[inproductiveninja]

can you make gibson SG's do this as well

btw, just because you guys cant afford them, it doesnt mean its a crappy rip off. they wouldnt sell this for about five hundred bucks now, would they

[EJRocky]

Meh.

I prefer gears, bushings and holes, thank you very much... xD

[JXY110]

Im Suprised small kids arent afraid of guitars now lol

Looks like a brilliant guitar but i wont be able to afford one for a couple of years XD

[firegeek22]

I held one one because some guy at the store asked me to hold it but i didn't get to play it.

[JimmyTh3H4cker]

Whats the point?, most of people can tune there own guitar omg, Don't buy this, Buy a real guitar, it least longer

[hakim0744]

why did they add this ??? it doesn't mean any thing

[OptoOcto]

they made it this way so that gig players dont have to have five minute breaks after ever solo or song.. its easier for a gig player. but i kinda agree, if you can't tune a guitar you can't play one. and no, i can't afford one xD

[MrCrazyguitarguy]

just because it tunes itself dosnt mean that it will sound any good

[hotrod921]

ur right but it dus sound good

[YOUDUDE56]

the gibson robot does sound good. its a studio model. i have one of them and theyre very good

[XFallOutGirl13X]

Dude, please swallow the food in your mouth before screaming at such a lazy, unnecassary invention

[sexbombguitarsalxfuc]

this are not REAL guitars anymore and it makes people very lazy!

[meroswarrior]

LOL

[SamuraiSux]

i don't need a fucking robot to tune my damn guitar for me!

[DerekDonger]

Ohh there there precious!

[hotrod921]

you cant afford it can you

[sOulrOckmelO]

@SamuraiSux FUCK YEAH!!!!

[johnmichaelosbourne7]

@SamuraiSux be practical dude. it saves time

[arsenalfanforlife]

i tune my guitar myself

[AceHeikanen]

hah nice commercial.. but the guitars sound isnt very good in my opinion

[vikingraider1]

I think Gison guitars are OK but they are overpriced and the quality control is a bit hit and miss. Personally I prefer Washburn, their custom shop Washburn Idols rival anything that Gibson can do - if they're good enough for Nick Catanese, Dimebag and Scott Ian then Washburn must be doing something right.

[ECgod77]

Who?

[vikingraider1]

Ha ha...you're joking ain't ya?

[DayTripperLennon]

What ever happened to the good 'ol human ear?

[redghost105]

its just not as dependable anymore

lol

[ECgod77]

I think mine were blown out by my neighbor blasting his rap music. :(

[nine9live5]

roflmfao

[mike041293]

ok ok, i think we shud all agree that squier are the worlds best make

[SonOfRDGear]

nah dude: first act (toys R us display case edition)

[opensandwich]

lol i hope that was a joke

[xboxliveman177]

na man, a nice 34 dollar yamaha acoustic, oooh ya, and a first act in the plastic packaging WITH a free amp, best guitars ever made

[mike041293]

damn, a free amp, i gota get me some of that 34 dollar shit

[DuendeBimbo]

haha 34 dollar shit funny

[xxStratxx69]

I found a Robot Studio for $1600 at a local store, and I tried the "non" robot studio, and I actually liked it a lot better then the robot.

[JYZProductions]

when it all comes down to it, its a bit of metal and wood. Brand should be the last thing on your mind.

My pick would be Fender... although I'm more of a BC Rich fan, if you know what your guitars (parts and so on) any guitar will sound amazing.

[mistad00m]

BC rich sound like shittt

[JYZProductions]

Well, thats your opinion, If you change the pickups to say Dimarzio or EMG the guitar will sound a lot better.

but than again look and brand doesnt mean anything/

[mistad00m]

bc rich guitars,

their necks suck.

their bodies suck (cheap wood isntead of mahogany or at least alder)

their electronics suck.

end of story.

i agree changing the pickups will make it sound better,

but pickups arent the only thing when it comes to guitar tone

[JYZProductions]

alright because it really depends on the persons style and experience.

for me I'd play anything from Yngwie Malmsteen to Black Sabbath and it does the trick, besides you pay for what you get. I personally love my NJ Series beast and custom warlock.. their far from those guitars that rot at pawn shops.

[SschmierFink]

The biggest intention in buying a BC is to get atention. Nobody can tell me those bodies lokk like that because its sound better. It's look and style over tone and technique. So, I don't want to say that all BC players are posers, but they like a good pose!

[JYZProductions]

yeah when it comes down to it, its just an a shape that stands out, but pay about the same for say a Beast or a Draco as you would a les paul or stratocaster their just as good or better depending on the style of the player and the overall tone they want to achieve.

[butane1245]

Fender fuckin sucks

[althegreat17]

lol

it depends on the music u play

[PeteAndJakee]

@butane1245 No fender is a good brand i played a telecaster and it has a twangy bridge pickup and good sound! Strats are good for metal.

[assphinktersaiswhat]

@PeteAndJakee Strats are good for metal?"?? what the hell????

Strats with a crappy single coil cant do thick and or heavy sounds worth shit.

[PeteAndJakee]

@assphinktersaiswhat Seriously my Strat has a humbucker and its good for Megadeth and shit

[breaththeair]

its the players you idiots not the guitars that suck if heafy,malmsteen,and slash got given sx's[not saying tehyre bad but not up to fender or gibsons standard] and made then sound fucking awesome would you say that the music produced is shit ?????

[watdabell]

i have an sx lp i love it and peeps say it sounds good but it doesnt soun as good as a gibson

[IzGoRawr]

isnt there a stratocaster with the same feature?

[Crazy93SG]

omg feed me, play me, XD

[Guitarplayer219]

I own a silver burst SG I got it when it was on sale. This was one HELL of a guitar!!

[ubercoolman7]

Feed me........ Play me....... I'm in tune LOL

[bobjimijanis]

I like Gibson more than fender, but that's just me. I think Fender is just as good as gibson. it's all about style.

BTW i don't like these Robot Guitars. I prefer Les Paul and SG etc. only the classics.

[cucarachavengadora]

Well, since Fender is Fender, Gibson goal have been kill them, but, with this foolish gadget they pretend to kill the NUMBER ONE guitar in the Fucking Universe? please Gibson guys, you allways are in second place, check the alfabet: a, b c, d, e, Fender and Gibson, it's just your Karma, to be the second act, sorry guys.

[GibsonsOwnFenders]

Fender fails at everything

[cucarachavengadora]

Shure, you are right, that's why Hendrix, Clapton, Malmsteen, Blackmore, Glimour, and many other uses Fender, because fails.Anyways your comment is so "smart".

[GibsonsOwnFenders]

Hendrix, Clapton , Plant, Young , Slash, Costello, Hammett and many 1000's of 'kickass' players Use gibson compared to Fender. 'anyways', You Failed

[cucarachavengadora]

Jajajajajajajaja!! Ok. You are the winner, now are you happy? But the truth is that Fender change the way to make guitars and is the best selling guitar in the world and do you know if Gibson have any Hendrix model in catalog? or Clapton model? or Malmsteen model? or Jeff Beck model?I don't think so, now you failed, and you talked about Page, the guitar solo in Stairway to heaven was recorded with a Fender Telecaster, so, please, don't cry , it's sad to know the truth, see you.

[GibsonsOwnFenders]

so you have 87 Fender guitars.

[cucarachavengadora]

Jajajajajajajaa!! In fact, I don't use Fender guitars anymore, my main guitar is a P-Project nylon strings guitar custom made in Japan and my second guitar is a Carvin TL 60, but I was a Fender user for more than 15 years and, my friend, you have to understand that Fender and Gibson are equally good, but their tonal caracter is diferent. See you.

[GibsonsOwnFenders]

Jajajajajajjajajaa!!!! Dumbass.

[HyvelTjuven]

How are they failing at everything?

They make nice guitars, and they're very successfull, how are they failing?

[GibsonsOwnFenders]

because you are a fan of theres

[HyvelTjuven]

Yes I am, I'm also a fan of gibson.

You obviously doesn't seem to have any arguments, so just do yourself a favor and cut the bullshit.

[GibsonsOwnFenders]

@HyvelTjuven Last night was magical. I bet you still an't walk after i fucked the living shit out of you.

[Arthurb06]

wtf dude, Hendrix and Clapton NEVER favoured Gibsons over Fenders -_-

I love both brands. and Fanboys should go suck a dick like the little fags they are

[havik82]

we americans are gettin to fucking lazy i would rather play an alvarez. cause i dont really like gibson or fender. a guitar is a guitar to me.

[ashtonworld]

that was cool

[RobDFrizzle]

man what is this??i agree with meggaman.old gibsons rule!

[johnnycat65]

Didn't transperformance guitars make a self-tuning "robot guitar" first?

[gdayskater]

yea i found that out too man they should sue gibson

[meggaman]

the only gibsons worth playing are old gibsons the new gibsons suck

[meggaman]

gibson sucks

it all about Charvel

[liverpool1sgreat]

probably because u dont av enough money to buy one so shut up and play ur gay charvel

[meggaman]

charvels are just as expensive dumb fuck

[liverpool1sgreat]

bring it u fat bastard

[999kenneth999]

fouck u loser.

[essa8abbas]

suck a dick bitch !!!!!!!!! ... sorry i was just so exited XD

[DaColt88]

kool

[metalfreak13]

lol,i like these little sneak peek trailors.

even though buying this guitar is relativly usless,it would b fun 2 have.

But only if ur loaded,and that I am not,so I shall not b buying this....besides I don't even like Gibson.

lol

[schokotackle]

what a disturbing sound!!

[ChampionMaz]

ohhh great now im afraid to buy one even if i have the amount of money.....

its gonna kill meh!!!

[Leraas14]

VG Strats are better

[godofwhatever]

not better than a gibson les paul

[ccsishell11]

i hate that guitar

[fryeguy87]

agreed

[pinoyguitarplayer101]

People just gets more lazy and lazy. It actualy takes much faster to tune your guitar yourself. Besides with all of those electronics inside the guitar, the resonance and tone won't as good compare to a plain electric guitar without all of these parts inside of it.

[SarschaC]

then why don't guitars just play themselves?

-_-

[NearDisturbed]

its good when u need to tune your guitar live and cant get people to shut up. cuz i know it feels then putting it in the wrong is worse lol

[fryeguy87]

That's what a chromatic tuner is for

[PunterCam]

So it tunes itself? And the bad part is? I know my favourite part of playing is tuning...

This will be standardised in years to come - how good will it be to press a button and have the guitar instantly tune to dadgad mid tune - this is an opertunity and already people put it down as being crap. Narrow mindedness never got anyone anywhere

[NinjewMaster]

Good point. People are being really annoying about this, rather than just accepting it as a technological advancement in music.

[kia25]

I want one ;(

[AlphaStudiosOnline]

I guess it would be good for people who can't remember what the strings sound like when their tuned... Oh well I'm sticking to the good old guitars.

Oh and I agree, I hate it when people that can play Guitar Hero well think they are better than someone who acan ctually play guitar!

Happy New Year from Alpha Studios!

[0discover0]

im down with you

[aaronmyers1982]

Amen brother., as well as these chumps who get their picture taken with a guitar and tell people thier guitar players when they can only play like 2 songs and not even the whole way thru. Its pretty demeaning huh? and guitar hero's for people who cant play the real deal. In my opinion, You shouldnt be allowed to call yourself a guitar player unless you've been at it for a few years and can at least come up with something original.

[aaronmyers1982]

SN on AIM is LdGuitarPly incase your ever interested in hearing someof my original copyrighted riffs

[drzak182]

whats the point of making an expensive guitar if no'one's gonna buy it

[boddah222]

just a novelty toy.. much prefer a standard to this one..and that colour..yak!

[LesPaul4542]

noooo he bought a transformer

[bombtuckles]

Kinda like the fender cyber twin amp...

[halojack22]

i think hes screaming at how ugly it is

[jdrichard01]

Check out my youtube on the inventor of the First Automatic Guitar Tuner. 1982 Thesis with prototype :) I beat Gibson by 25 Years and never gave them a call, Damn. I have the Thesis if someone from Gibson is interested in giving me a call. Not after money, jujst want to put this to bed by telling my story and getting a pat on the back for being an inventive Human. PS: I have a 1980 LP Firebrand that I played in a rock band and still love it. Thanks

[RedF430]

After 29 years of changing string and tuning all of my guitars I think I'll be buying one and doing more playing and less time wasting. Tuning guitars and changing strings does nothing as far as making anyone a better player.

[schaukele]

Usually people who have Gibson guitars are pretty dedicated to guitar (cause of the cost, so I don't see why somebody who is ready to pay x000 $ for a guitar is to laysy to tune it themself.

[MetallicGod07]

it's pretty cool how it tunes itself. I love the color.

[hotdog117]

the ad is not really funny... and if you dont know how to tune your guitar you shouldnt play :-D

[Mattfromspire]

I've got perfect pitch, and don't need a tuner to tune my guitar. But this would be good for kicks. :D

[sleeponit777]

effectively tuning the guitar is basic but when you have good level I think you can be tired of tuning the guitar... and here it rescue!!! if it was with the explorer style I'll buy one I think(if I have enough money of course!!)

[looserandlooser]

i agree, tuning your own guitar is the basics in becoming a good guitar player

[cursedreject]

i'm pretty sure anyone who'd buy this guitar would know how to tune already.

[RedHotChiliPeppers72]

i wish that were true, but i seriously doubt it, in the long run, people always invent things that will do stuff for them, and eventually will come the day when ppl no longer even tune a guitar by themselves, they'll have something like this do it for them...have you even seen this gay ass game, guitar hero? its makes ppl feel they can play guitar and not know shit about it, it sucks and the very concept is in this robot guitar

[cursedreject]

aye aye no need to trash guitar hero. that game rocks. majority of people who play guitar hero with or without guitar experience know that it won't help them get anywhere with the real thing. have you seen dance dance revolution, that makes people think they can dance when in actually, if they try to dance like that, they look stupid.

[RedHotChiliPeppers72]

no man i dunno if u play guitar, but sincerely, for me, any guitarrist who takes it for real and isnt a loser who just plays songs with power chords and plays songs from like fallout boy or any other of those weak commercial bands, would see that guitar hero is too poser(ish?) and pointless to play, why bother make it look like you can play as a fraude when you should be getting a real guitar and learning the songs...

[RedHotChiliPeppers72]

guitar hero and real guitar playing have NOTHING in common and any real guitarrist would get pissed when ppl who try to make that comparison- whether they even know theyre doing it or not

[cursedreject]

guitar hero, is just a game its not a personal guitar tutor. keep that in mind, it's made for gaming systems aimed for gamers.

[RedHotChiliPeppers72]

aimed for posers, you mean

[cursedreject]

not really. anyone can enjoy guitar hero its a game just like counterstrike or ddr. it just happens to have a guitar shaped controller.

my five year old cousin plays guitar hero is he a poser. and since when was guitar hero aimed for real guitarists emulating real guitar.

[RedHotChiliPeppers72]

you mean besides their propaganda?? i just think it's stupid and a bad concept altogether for people who actually play, everyone I know that even plays an instrument agrees with me...and i know thats not an argument, im just commenting it

[cursedreject]

just remember its just a game. it's a fun way to kill time not a thing your going to perform in concerts.

[RedHotChiliPeppers72]

...doesnt change the fact that i think its lame

[cursedreject]

i only think its lame when people actually think they can make something out of it. especially reading comments of that 8 year old kid saying "he's going to be a great guitarist". whoa i sound like a hypocrite. either i go both ways [no sexually] :P

[juanpichad]

$2500

[BBBmarko]

pretty sure thats just for the tecnhology not the whole guitar...it $2500 + standrad pricing of a Gibson LP. At least thats what ive heard

[quiksinger]

does anyone know how much it cost?

[foxinator0]

it would be for stage performances. so u can quick tune.

[LegoBen]

It is cool I have two Gibson LP's and I have to say that I like the classic tune your self and non robot guitar thing more. Because it has been that way for a LOOOOOONG time... But it looks interesting.

[BBBmarko]

Ive been hearing that the guitars will be LP standards fitted with this technology, and they should retail price for about $8000-8500 USD.

[Fender869]

Overpriced piece of shit. Maybe i am just not as lazy as everyone out there, but my Korg rackmount tuner will do the job just fine. I'd be willing to buy a guitar like that, but the hell with the Gibson. If i want innovation, i don't want it on something that isn't that old and has a flawed design. I'd be impressed to see something similar on a guitar with a floating bridge. Now that'd be worth some money!

[kerplunk777]

omg this is sick!:)

[Levesque999]

Peter Frampton already has something like this.

[kaytee9938]

It'd be nice to have a guitar that'll tune itself.

[drmofcali4niktun]

the technology's been around for a while... it was just incredibly expensive. if you ever looked at recent vids of jimmy paige playing, you'd notice a couple buttons on the body... they act as controls for a tuning rig. look up transperformance, the installation is about 3,500 for a les paul... so you see why it's not very popular.

[Twichee]

what makes it so special is that it tunes itself.

[ninjasmu]

haha i laughed. that was good

[guitar5678910]

lol

[deste23]

that's gotta be awesome. Must try one out :D

[greendayguy321]

wow lol i really cant wait 2 try it out @ gc.
