I refuse to comment - I am gobsmacked that they would do such a thing.

What's the problem? It's just a self tuning guitar with some brains. I'd have one..drop D with the turn of a button \m/

All my old guitars do dropD at the turn of a button.

Serioulsy tho, the only use I can see for the robot is instant access to alternate tunings. But sometimes you don't just want a different tuning - you want a completely different sound, ie a different guitar.

Van Halen beat ya to it. Wolfgangs come with his patented gadget on the bridge that drops the E to D

The media swallowed the hype on this but this doesn't seem to be anything you couldn't do with a Transperformance self tuning guitar from about 15 years ago. Move on, nothing to see here...

whew I thought LPs weren't heavy wnough.. adding all that extra hardware should get them just about right..

remember what Les Ring said.. don't use your back like a crane (or even a derek)
