1. It Is Amazing

According the write-up i saw, it's a very limited issue. But, it's incredible. Continuously tunes itself! Altered tunings!

I bet it's cheap, huh?

2. If I Were a Guitar Tech, I'd Be PISSED

ya know?

3. Well, not necessarily

Looks as if it can only tune strings. With any guitar you would still need to do truss rod and bridge adjustments when needed. Don't forget the occasional nut replacement and the guitar can't exactly change strings FOR you.

4. but half the fun is tuning up for 5 minutes before every song!

Actually, for electric, I use a Roland vg-88 in the studio. Press a button and you've got any tuning you want.

This guitar might have it's advantages live, but it's still sounds like a les paul.... I prefer fender

Seems like a lot of money for a gimmick.

5. Gee...Now if only Rickenbacker would come up with one for.....

their 12 strings....though it's too late for me.
