Ok cool thought (I'll give them that) but there's something about tuning and doing a restring on your guitar by hand THAT shows that you love your guitar and your music.
So if it takes more time, who ceres people will chill for a sec if they love music.
....bah....what i really need is a microled inlayed neck and a selector for the tonality (or 8\9 tonalities..)...so u click Bb- and your neck will display where to improvise....or just a few pentatonics..or a simple c maj scale or whatever ..so i can play me too and not waste my time looking at silly guitar video or practising...
Now people won't bother to learn how to tune. Then when their battery runs down they will be up shit creek without a paddle. Well maybe not. I don't think many people today would know what a paddle is or how to use it.
i don't understand why they would make this guitar. is it for lazy people? you should be able to tune to an open tuning with your ear. wow, things are just getting stupid.
by the time it took to chage, most guitarist would have done it in the same time.
Nice... it's pretty fascinating electronics if you're gonna take it apart and reverse engineer it.... Servo motors in the tuners? Really? You would normally find servo motors in disk drives. Who would have thought of servo motor application in guitars? And of course you need a microprocessor to control the servos. Is it a great guitar? I dunno, I can appreciate the engineering behind it. Just my two cents.
Tuning quickly to alternate tunings onstage isn't easy. Intonation isnt easy. Even without the robot tuning, this is cheaper AND better than a normal Les Paul Studio - it has better runers (locking tuners) and a better input jack (Neutrik).
Ok now I want to see a guitar that can prevent strings from breaking on stage. And when it does, it replaces the string right after and tune it as well. And if it could have some vending machine, with like, beer, it would be veeery nice.
The James bond gadget fascination attracted me to the idea of getting this guitar, but the sound quality and playability was what sealed it. I think Gibson pulled out all the stops with this, aware it was going to be scrutinized, made sure it was built top notch!
It is my favourite Gibson and plays as well as my beloved Gretsch 6120 Brian Setzer.
I own this guitar and 16 others (5 Gibsons). I agree with the comments about not being lazy. I have trained my ear over the years to write scores away from an instrument. Where this guitar is great is playing live and changing tunings (while vocalist talks to audience) I press the E major command and 20 seconds later I am ready to play slide!
man thats just a waste of money cuz people that play guitar and are good at it..theres no need for a guitar like that...also people have to learn how to tune them selves
People that are good at guitar know many songs in many tunings and it's a bitch to go from tuning to tuning inbetween songs, and I'm tired of people who have probably never seen a robot keep saying you won't learn how to tune a guitar by ear, I think that if you are commited to buying a gibson of any kind, you'ed know how to tune a guitar by ear before you bought it.
3. Why do guitarist feel like they need to waste time tuning, when I'm playing a gig I want it to be as fast and as easy as possible plus it obviously doesn't change the aesthetic of the guitar because all the machinery is on the inside. People need to stop being elitist or overly traditional, its ok to be different.
1. Tuning isn't all that easy as a beginner so it only makes the instrument more accessible
2. No matter how good you make the tuners you can't keep a string from going out of tune, other things besides the tuner affect the string like temperature, stretching and bending etc.
this is fuking amazing you people complain about it but why whould you want to wate your time tunning a guitar when all you have to do is toch a button pick up the guitar and play.
I really don't get it. Tuning is the easiest thing in the world, do you really need help? And why ruin a classic, time-honored instrument with goofy gimmicks like this?
I understand making changes and improvements, but why not just equip the guitar with improved tuners and so on to keep it in tune longer? A $70 set of planet waves tuners, and a decent quality nut + setup will do the trick. I set up an Epi LP like that (w/ an Earvana nut) and it stays in tune.
Add on: While I love Planet Waves locking tuners (they cut the strings for you too), but they could use some improvement aesthetically before putting them on a Gibson Les Paul. Maybe a "Classic Version."
this should only be for guitarists who can tune a guitar as easy as 123 but are just tired of tuning it EVERY time they play...This helps mostly for the SG
I agree that it would be nice. But beginners MUST learn how to tune a guitar themselves. Won't be long 'till every guitar plays itself for you. And yes SGs do go out out of tune a lot. It does me head in.
I don't agree that this is just for lazy players or people who can't tune. I own an Epiphone SG std, which goes out of tune like a bastard. I have to tune it almost every minute. It would be nice to not have to take that much time out of my playing. Plus getting set up for shows is a lot easier, especially since you wouldn't have to switch guitars to save time when swtiching tuning. In my opinion this is quite innovative even for the most experienced players
A good set of locking tuners should be able to sort that out. Gibson and Epiphone stock tuners aren't horrible, but they suck a huge one in comparison to Sperzels (for example).
It's not about the guitar tuning itself but the need of playing in alternative tunings at a touch of at button that's attracts me.... and yes, you can manually tune the Guitar.... And I been doing that for 20 years...Think of it as a piano player that's never need's to tune his piano... That's the keyboard player we hear on the radio every day... It just hit the guitar decades later and that is today...
i so dont want one cuz A) its expensive B) hoo would wanna pay over 2Gs over sumthing that that does things for ya (y dont they make sumthing that plays for ya too?!!) and C) this is a PERFECT example as to y America is so lazy!!!
A) All Gibsons are pretty expensive. In fact, the Robot Guitar is most definitely not the most expensive guitar in Gibson's line-up. There are guitars that go for $10k. The difference is, the guitar players know they're paying for a good guitar. You clearly don't see anything but figures.
B) Who would want to pay over $2k for something that does things for you? Why would you pay $30k for a car when you could walk?
C) I'm pretty sure this is also a perfect example of how innovative some Americans can be. And you realize this isn't being marketed towards just Americans.
well this about the start of a generation of degraded musicianship....lazy people who can't tune their guitar by ear since just having a developed ear is a big part of being a musician
Ok cool thought (I'll give them that) but there's something about tuning and doing a restring on your guitar by hand THAT shows that you love your guitar and your music.
So if it takes more time, who ceres people will chill for a sec if they love music.
