Ew.

Despite how it may have come off, I wasn't out to get you personally. Every now and again I get fed up with the Gibson and it boils over. You took the brunt this time. No harm intended.

Though I am going to have to say something about your GAS. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

I'd buy one of these for about 500 bucks, tops.
Chances are, they will sell for over 7000 over in Australia.

I like the idea of the Robot system. Multiple tunings already programmed, and tuned within seconds.

But, IMO, it doesn't work on a $2,000+ guitar. Gibson should have tested this on some Epi LP's, SG's, Explorers, first. That way we could test the system's reliability and effectiveness on a more affordable guitar. Alot of newbies who play Epi's would probably love this system. Once the system has tested successful on the Epi's then gibson should have moved it onto their more expensive gutiars.

One of Gibson's ugliest creations IMO. They should have kept the LP Classics and Standard Fadeds around and bagged the Dark Fire idea.

Re: ***gibson dark fire in-depth hands-on review***

it comes with recording software and mimics the pickup tones of other guitars and does all tunings at the touch of a button.

it's perfect for somebody who barely plays guitar and runs a studio...not for rock-n-rollers playing in bars and clubs.

Re: ***gibson dark fire in-depth hands-on review***

this isnt a les paul?

 

[shadowsfall979]

Re: ***gibson dark fire in-depth hands-on review***

Not to me really. I prefer a specific one should of specified. My friend has a les paul custom but he also put emgs in it 81 85s I guess im just partial to that never really cared for gibson specifically not a bad company just not my taste. I need to specify more.

Re: ***gibson dark fire in-depth hands-on review***

and just to get disspell accusations of gibson-bashing, this is my current worst GAS problem:

which i could get along with a Telecaster and new pickups for both for the price of the Dark Fire.

that's all i'm sayin.

What do they call that color? Pukeburst? :chairfall

I can't help but feel like all the "uber-versatile" stuff saturating the market these days is intended more for the bedroom hobbyist wanting to cop all the tones of their heroes, rather than the artist who is more intent on finding their own voice.

Walk into GC on a Saturday afternoon and look around...

Which do you think there are more of trying & buying gear?

Bedroom wankers or working artists who are keen on developing a signature voice?

Personally I just love how Gibson keeps making subtle alternations to their original flop, the $5k digital Les Paul (that couldn't be plugged into anything!) and keep trying to pass it off as the latest & greatest thing to come along. You'd think they would've learned years ago that nobody was really interested... but no... they keep rehashing that turd thinking that this time, someone MIGHT actually use it.

Besides the collectors...

Digital tuning... whats the thing that Sonny Landreth uses? The name is escaping me... now that's a killer system!

 

[Zerberus]

Re: ***gibson dark fire in-depth hands-on review***

^^ Transperformance, the same system Jimmy page uses.. 15 years ago it cost 5k to have installed in a Les Paul, and you had to supply the guitar . I thionk something like 3000 tunings on teh föly at the push of a few buttons, and resets the intonation too IIRC...

 

[J Moose]

Re: ***gibson dark fire in-depth hands-on review***

Yes! Thats it! The Transperformance!

Sorry, that rig kicks the krap out of these Gibson robot guitars... retunes on the fly, go from open E to open G to DADGAD or whatever you've programmed in about a second and a half. Now thats killer. For a guy like Sonny it means he can travel with maybe 3 planks rather then 30 to cover all the various tunings.

I'd drop $5k on that before any of the Gibson digital guitars... that HD6, even with the hex pickup & digital out has to hit a breakout box and go to analog! What's the point? And at least on the robot guitar I demo'd the retuning was VERY slow and not entirely accurate... not like the Transperformance which was instant and dead accurate.

I hope everybody really appreciates the beauty of this forum.

I started this thread 3 months ago as a complete joke, and look at what it's become. An in-depth hands-on review from not only angry punk rock stoners like myself, but also some true professionals who've been at it for years.

This is a WEALTH of angry punk rock knowledge and we should all be very thankful.

Some silly computerized thing to tune your guitar for you?

they have those, they're called tuning pedals
