no need to tune

i first saw this maybe a couple of years ago and was awe struck by how amazing it was, it may be old news now, but to some that havent seen it, ladies and gentlemen, i give you.... the gibson robot guitar

now at first glance this may look just like your normal beautiful gibson les paul guitar, but no, look closer, notice the small lights on the volume knob. the brains at gibson using the technology of the tronical powertune system have managed to come up with a guitar that has the ability to tune itself! its one of the coolest things, seeing the tuning keys turn all on their own, looks like your guitar is being tuned by a ghost.

apparently this isnt the first time this has been done, but as far as i can see it is the first readily available and un-invasive model and it certainly is the best looking. the model shown above is one of the original versions, the les paul, although it is now available in several different styles including a robot sg and a robot flying v.

amazingly the guitar can not only tune itself but it can use different styles of tuning too, like drop d, open e and down half step. this may be one of the greatest things i have ever seen, it wont be long until the guitars just play themselves and you just have to stand there and look bad ass.
