Seems pretty cool to me- I'm looking forward to the time in five years when all guitars will tune themselves.

ohh i heard you gotta lock the strings in place and when you hit the lock it tunes it slightly out... so then you gotta unlock it and tune it slightly the other way

I tried one and wasn't impressed. the sound wasn't anywhere near as good as our guitarist's Les Paul Custom, and the suistain was a little lacking.
I have always thought the more there is on a guitar, the more there is to go wrong during a gig.
Seems it's just another "gimmick" guitar, released in small numbers at a stupid price, that some folks will be mug enough top buy because they have too much money and not enough brains.

I think American guitars are getting towards rip-off prices these days, (don't get me wrong, I love 'em!), and for the same sort of money, you can go to a good guitar builder and have something made to your exact specifications - It's what I did, and my '76 Fender Precision hasn't been out of its case in years. I thought it was good, but it just didn't compare, and I've since had another bass made.

That's just lazy, and not very Rock N Roll!

you're right - rock n' roll is not tuning the guitar at all

Plug it in, turn the volume and gains up to 11 and thrash away!!
