Members sylvesterlowery Posted July 4, 2010 Members Share Posted July 4, 2010 Even if you think the robot tuning is a gimmick (and I love it), the locking tuners and locking jack are just plain improvements over the normal Gibson hardware even if you never choose to use the robot tuning.When this gets closed out at $999 like the other robots, I will be all over it. Well, if the tuners lock, that's cool. And the locking jack sounds like a good idea.But some of the these gadgets and gimmicks just take away from an otherwise beautiful guitar.

Members Guitar Sinner Posted July 4, 2010 Members Share Posted July 4, 2010 It's July,2010 where I am. What about you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted July 4, 2010 Members Share Posted July 4, 2010 I like it. It looks good and the robot thing may be cool. The only drawback is that the robot stuff will crap out and Gibson will be an pain in the ass to deal with to get it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoneNut Posted July 4, 2010 Members Share Posted July 4, 2010 I've never known a group of people more opposed to change than this one. Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'. For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside ragin'. It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'. Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin'. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin'. And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members giantbaba Posted July 4, 2010 Members Share Posted July 4, 2010 I actually embrace technology and am not a stupid, knee-jerk-reactionary caveman, so I like this robot tuning thing. Guitar in the OP is too expensive for me. Neat features, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lefchr Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 Wow did you see the list price over 6k. I don't like it that much. Are the tuners still usable with out the robot stuff if that did break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Engl Kramer Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 Why doesn't it change the pitch of the strings electronically?Doing it this way will take longer and {censored} the strings hard.I think its ok for people to hate this guitar.If I wanted a high tech guitar I'd buy one- not a Les Paul.
