It's not nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. I was thinking somewhere from $4,000, but $2500 is cheap for something like that. --------------------  |

QUOTE (mattacuk @ Dec 3 2007, 10:11 PM)  Thanks for the article, it sure is an interesting idea!!  For me, Im not sure if I would like it or not. It sounds really handy, but I do like a traditional guitar !  Also and just to be a Luddite - it doesn't do you any harm to be able to tune a guitar manually  .By all means go with this if you want but learn to tune a guitar as well .

Maybe a discount for the poor [fatherless guitar testers] that will be beta testing. I wonder how long before the first hotfix. I looove that blue silverburst finish. Being nitro, I wonder how that'll age.

It does seem that there is a manual mode. It's out of my price range either way, but this would be a great time/money saver for the gigging player that's just starting out (not a ton of cash). Wouldn't have to bring along multiple guitars for diffferent tunings...just call them up as you need them on the fly. I wonder how practical it would be to do something like change tuning in the middle of a song. -------------------- Guitars: ESP Semi-Hollow Eclipse, 1984 Ibanez Roadstar RS440, Peavey T-60, Daisy Rock Rock Candy Custom

Interesting that they're touting it as the "world's first" and it's yet to be released when I remember seeing one of these 2 years ago:

It sounds interesting but I dont think it will be that big of a hit amongst guitar players. I personally don't like any kinds of "robotic" quality in my guitars. But Im sure that some people out there like that kind of stuff very much. But I prefer just basic locking tuners like Schallers

I beleive it has all kinds of tunings.
PS I too do not think that this is a handy feature because I like simplicity. It is a great invention but I am not that convinced yet...

Imagine you play a song and do some crazy stuff on it and than when its over you don't need to annoy the audience while you get your guitar back in tune
Now if this guitar could tune itself during play (if it gets out of tune) that would be awesome feature too
