Out of this world (literally)!

An absolute nutter.

Can you believe it? A guitar that tunes ITSELF. Cool. Listen to this:-

• Keeps itself IN TUNE, even after you change the strings;
• Select from six (6) non-standard tunings. At the push of a button. (Creed, Goo Goo Dolls anyone?)

Handy? Definitely. Must-have? Probably. Practical? Without a doubt. But yet...

This guitar must have purist foaming at the mouth. What happened a good ear for tone? Don't you need one of those for this 'music' thingamajig? Another talent now obsolete thanks to Robot Guitar from Gibson.

"Back in my days, we used Electronic Tuning Devices. It builds character". "Thats' so '20th Century' Grampa". Dumb kids.

Can you imagine how much that baby's gonna cost here on our shores? 15? 16? 20? Would it be worth it? Consider the artiste who became famous playing on non-standard tuning all these years. do you think they would really break between songs in a concert just because every two songs use different set-ups/tuning? Did GNR decide to play every alternate song in standard tuning and the others dropped 1/2? Didn't think so. So what more the average Johan/Jothi/Jinjang Joe?

Personally, i still think the vintage designs are the bee knees. Think 1957 Les Paul Standard. In Tabacco Sunburst. Hmm... orgasmic. Better still, think of the Slash Signature Les Paul (the one with the Fishman Piezo's). Hmm...hmmmm... ooer....... Now where did i keep the tissues?
