My buddy works at Guitar Center and they recently got one in stock at his store. He said it's snapped 3 strings already attempting to tune itself.

Maybe I'm having a purist moment, but that seems a bit excessive to me. I'm of the mind and opinion that a person who'd rather not tune his guitar probably shouldn't be playing one.

that looks awesome but i'd imagine in practice it would never work as well as that demo.

agreed. what if you want to use some kind of crazy open tuning? and like bassphemy said, apparently it sucks at tuning.



the only upside to that guitar would be if it constantly corrected itself, like if you went out of tune from too much whammy bar use during a solo (like dime went out of tune in floods). that'd be neat...but still not worth the money for that guitar.

Yep, not to mention worrying about if anything electronic on it goes. Fuck all that.

I assume it has settings for different tunings. Otherwise I really wouldn't see a point.

i can understand needing something pushbutton convenient when you're playing live drunk lights in your face with shitty sound guys and whatnot, its annoying really. check this out though, not the same but achieving nearly the same task minus all the fancy bullshit to go wrong... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Rose_SpeedLoader

You know, if they made something like this that automatically re-set a Floyd Rose, especially to multiple tunings, it would be worth it. Those things are a pain in the fucking ass. :tdown:
