Most rockers are fine spending the 15 seconds it takes to tune a guitar, especially if it saves them $900. Not to mention a tune-o-matic Gibson stays in tune for decades (my SG gets tuned every 2 weeks whether it needs it or not). Its the newbies who can't tune by ear who will be buying this guitar. Still, its a cool technology. They should really put it on guitars with Floyd Roses where it would actually be useful. ]]>Oct 3rd 2007 2:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/Oct 3rd 2007 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/Oct 3rd 2007 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/Dec 3rd 2007 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/And in a professional performance theres no need to have a tuning break or to change guitars.

I've seen this thing working and it's incredibly cool. Set the tuning, strum, and the little servos start whirring. Almost makes me wish I could play and owned one of these babies.

So, yeah - not sure if you were being serious, but it's definitely not fake.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/gibson-launching-self-tuning-guitars-rockers-rejoice/

Quality aside, the name is very popular, and that's what drives the price up. No different from a $200 pair of jeans being made in the same Chinese sweatshop as a $20 pair of jeans.

And an extra 800 dollors doesnt really seem that much when you consider how much a good Gibson goes for... Several thousand I hear you say?
