I was demoing the robot tuning system for a customer today and a string popped.
the thing is a joke...i mean it's a cool idea but it's executed terribly.
lose the robot, put in REAL pickups and like Jimmy Page wiring...those pickups sound false and digital and chameleon tone doesn't make any sense.

Like anything, the technology will get better with time. I think it is convenient to have a multitude of tunings available instantly. I plan to buy a Dark Fire this Summer and I am looking forward to it. The one I tried out sounded great. The P-90 in the neck is wicked powerful, almost like a humbucker but still retained the characteristic P-90 sound
As for a string popping, how many times has that happened to all of us when manually tuning?

The P90 in the neck is digitally altered to sound like a humbucker in most of the chameleon tone settings...just sayin.
lemme know when you're tryin to buy one, the one in my shop might be marked down by then...

Kind of hard to comment on the review. I mean, it was so in-depth and descriptive that there's nothing left to be said.
I will make one comment on the robot guitar. Only a company like Gibson or Fender could pull this off... maybe an ESP or Ibanez. The reason is because the guitar community is afraid of change... afraid of anything "new" that wasn't around during the golden age of guitars. No technology is perfect when it first comes out, and I highly doubt a small outfit would have the cash flow to develop the technology, especially amidst the criticism of a traditionally skeptical market. Gibson may not have gotten right... they may never get it right... but at least they aren't stuck in 1963.

*snort* well, no... Of course a small outfit wouldn't have the capital to r&d something like Robot Tuning technology.
Small companies don't have the benefit of generations of people who are only aware of 1/3rd of the market and willing to pay top dollar for a headstock inlay to foist the cost of developing pointless gimmick tech on.
The other ideas implemented in Dark Fire still need to be tested in the real world, but I think it's fair to say that the whole Robot Guitar concept is about as practical an invention as The Clapper.
