Members Collapse Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 Tuning doesn't take enough time and isn't hard enough to do that I care.If it set intonation by itself (I know it assists already) it would be way cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BTBAM Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 It has lights on it when setting intonation to tell you exactly how many 1/4 inch turns to make to have it intonated. Also...it has 7 preset tunings, 5 of which are customizable. So...for a solo player for myself who has 6 tuning, it's very hand to pull them up really quick, because I have been bringing multiple guitars to my shows. Its a pretty good playing guitar too. I wouldn't say it was anything spectacular....it's a studio with the Tronical system in it...but for real, I do like it and come 2008, I will have one.

Members Heineken Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 Well that was my first reaction too. But beeing a big fan of bands like Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Soundgarden, RATM who use a lot of different tunings in their songs it's kind of a cool thing though. Since i don't have 5 roadies and a guitar tech i would be able to bring alot of variety in live gig's with just one guitar. I kinda like the idea. I'm just afraid about reliability. Alot of the electonics are in the bridge of the guitar. I sweat alot during gigs and have very corrosive sweat. I burn down saddles like a 300 lbs. cowboy farting acid. Imagine what it would do to electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 i like it. I don't really care for the guitar doing my tuning for me, but i do like the fact that there is a tuner built on board. Everybody needs a tuner. There is no exceptions. Every guitar should have a tuner built in. Super convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sent a message to the seller: You're a douche, I hope everybody's smart enough to realize these LP's are ugly and the robot function is stupid and you get stuck with a bunch of guitars you have to sell for less than what you paid. Oh yeah, don't expect anybody to pay $5k for one of these, ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 I don't get all the hate for this product. I mean, why not? It's a good idea and if you don't have any use for that feature because you're too hardcore to stay in tune or you would rather bring 5 guitars with you to a show then fine but I don't see how you can trash the concept unless the thing doesn't work.

Members L_Z_nut Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 I think it's pretty cool. I just hope the tuners aren't as loud as they sound in the vids. I wouldn't get one just becasue I stand the feel of a Paul. But I can see how it would be great for multiple tuning players. BTW... this is the dumbest, and gayest commercial ever made.
