Robot Guitar

So the good people at Gibson are making life easier for today's guitarists, they have come up with the "self tuning guitar"!
Check out the info below:


A new electric guitar from Gibson comes with robotics technology that allows the instrument to tune itself in a matter of seconds. The technology, developed in partnership with German company Tronical, allows the guitar to recognize pitch and use its processor and six motors on its tuning pegs to tighten the strings accordingly. Gibson, based in Nashville, TN., says it's the world's first guitar-turned-robot. The Les Paul with a Blue Silverburst finish goes on sale globally Dec. 7 for 308,700 yen (US$2,780; euro1,880) in Japan and US$2,499 in the U.S.

Pretty cool huh!
