Guitarists need to see this

I know there are several guitarists frequenting SOH, you need to see this, a new gizmo for tuning from Gibson. Pretty spiffy, At first I thought it was one of those fake things, but seems pretty genuine to me.

Not sure if it would work on other brands of guitar, though I can't see why not

What will they think of next! :isadizzy::icon_lol:

It would be a total waste of time on my axe though as I have a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge with a locking nut. My (fine) tuning is done on the bridge not the machine heads.
 
Gibson’s revolutionary Robot Les Paul Studio Limited is unique in many ways, but the “robot-like” Robot Tuners™ that grace the headstock are extraordinary. Pull out the Robot Les Paul Studio Limited’s Multi-Control Knob (MCK) and watch the Robot Tuners™ spring into action. It takes only a few seconds for the Robot Tuners™ to tune the Robot Les Paul Studio Limited to the desired tuning. Each tuning peg is equipped with a tiny, but powerful, servo motor that kicks into action once the system is activated. The Robot Tuners™ rely on the strings themselves to send the signals, eliminating any potential for interference. Made of lightweight metal with a satin nickel finish, the Robot Tuners™ weigh only 46.5 grams each. A standard Gotoh tuner weighs in at 49 grams. That means a set of Robot Tuners™ weigh a full 15 grams less than a set of Gotoh tuners, which is another indicator of the Robot Les Paul Studio Limited’s true innovation.

I copied this directly from the Gibson website and it looks like these "Robot Tuning Keys" would be adaptable to any guitar using the 3 per side headstock. It's cool technology if you play a lot of songs using other tunings such as "dropped D" or an "Open" tuning. Since I no longer play on-stage they are a bit too pricey for me, the SG lists at @$3395.usd but I can see a use for it if you are playing pro gigs.View attachment 88148
 
Hey All,

Thanks for posting Ickie! I like a lot of your music and I admit a number of your guitars - the strat and tele in particular. I can't tell what the acoustics are.

Ickie nice collection there. I had a listen your vocal especially on 'Loraine' reminded me so much of this guy...

That's a real nice collection of guitars you have there Ron, enjoyed the recordings too! I sold off my electric guitars and only kept a couple of my acoustics for my musical habit these days. I got rid of a Gibson ES-335 custom shop edition and Gretsch Country Club that I had for years along with the Roland JC-120 amp.Now I use a Yamaha APX series acoustic/electric running through a Fender Acoustasonic and a custom made Klema
from a Chech luthier named Martin Klema. Too bad we are so far away from each other,I'd love to get together and do a little picking! View attachment 89353
