Re: Gibson Robot Guitar

If you don't mind....what's the best price you're able to get on those?

Do they come in other colors besides the Bomb Pop blue/white?

I haven't researched it much, other than knowing it has robot tuners. Does it do alternate tunings? Give us a review!

Joe, the coolest part is how it adjusts intonation, and yes it does many alternate tunings.

They all come in that color though.

Awesome guitar though sturm, congrats!

Re: Gibson Robot Guitar

Well just so you know it does do alternate tunings and whatnot.. the color is limited edition its only gonna be used on these 4000 1st runs and then its discontinued. They are going to release more "robot" guitars in late 08 i believe.... oh and last thing for now...maybe its just me but they seem a bit heavy. Well Ive only had one Les Paul before and it was kinda heavy too so maybe its just the way it is

Re: Gibson Robot Guitar

I really like the idea of the tuning itself and the intonation. I don't like the modern features and look of the guitar though. Maybe if they could make a classic lookin ES-335 with the self tuning system I'd be a very happy man! (I'm done with buying LPs, my antiquity loaded R7 is the LP to end all LPs). good luck with ure robot - should come in handy with them gigs

Re: Gibson Robot Guitar

FYI, it doesn't adjust intonation automatically, it just tells you how many turns, left or right of the screw for the saddle for you to adjust it. It still pretty cool though.
