At first, yeah, I thought "WTH?", but I see the potential especially in a live setting. On the fly tuning? I'm all for it. Of course, you should still tune your guitar practically before the show (and when the drummer does his solo) with your regular tuning just to keep the feel of the guitar constant, but this can help keep the gig flowing without having to say "Hang on a sec, I gotta tune". I can't see it as anything but a positive.

@BombayBlackMusic I agree - and think this is a very well, thought out answer. Perfect for 'in-set, in-progress' tuning ... not for someone who doesn't want to learn how to tune their guitar. (Also, good for on-the-fly drop D tuning without having to change or lug 2 guitars to the gig).

Even though i fucking hate auto-tune in vocals, this technology (guitar) is so fucking cool. I dont think its cheating, cause its not playing for you. BLOWS MY MIND.

[PuR1fy]

I personally hate this. If you're too lazy to tune your guitar, you shouldn't be playing, imo. That like a football player would be too lazy to tie his shoes.

[PuR1fy]

@FakeFlourescentSkies Some might, some will not. Preference is key.

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

@PuR1fy self-tying shoes would be awesome and football players would use them tho amirite?

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

perfect intonation?

sign me up :))

He says the guitar isn't in tune "mechanically".... Doesn't that mean that acoustically the guitar is horribly tuned, and the guitar just sounds tuned from the output, after having been digitally tuned? And so that the thing you hear coming from the strings doesn't at all match what you hear from the amp?

Meh... the technology is still pretty damn awesome though for the people who play big gigs and can't hear the actual strings anyways. I'm also curious as to the tone, if the pickups are good.

[MORGAN1992FREEM4N]

the auto tune is cool but its very lazy and as per usually peavey produces a very mediocre sounding instrument :L

[zyglok]

I'd like it mainly for the perfect intonation all they way up the neck. A lot of guitars over time go may slightly twist and warp just enough to really throw off the high registers up near the body. There example is extreme, all would tune prior to playing. I'm impressed and I've never liked much that Peavey has put out at all, sorta wish some other guitar manufacturer would have done this in fact as I don't see myself strapping on anything with Peavey on it.

I commend Mr. Hartley for embracing modern technology and i can see where this would be useful . . BUT for pete's sake . . . before long you won't even have to know how to play guitar. All you will have to do is hold the instrument and press buttons that will play ready-made riffs. It would be better for young players to have to learn how to tune the instrument so they can develop their ear. Just sayin . . .

this guitar is super guitar.
