I hope they release a robotized whammy bar, too. Imagine. . . settings like: '80s divebomb, surf guitar, Bigsby simulator, Texas flutter, Brad Gilli's wild vibratos, Diamond Darrell pull-ups. . . . |

| | | | Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty good? Any desired tuning, I'm guessing this is deadon accurate too, and of wasted time tuning goes away. I wouldn't use it but this is good for guitar players imo. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Shirley, MA | | | Didn't they do this before, about 10-15 years ago? I remember reading an issue of Guitar World with an interview with Jimmy Page (around the time of that Coverdale/Page album) where he talked about playing a Les Paul with an automated tuning system. I would be willing to bet that its price tag was such that Jimmy Page was probably one of the few people who would have bought one.
It's actually a really cool idea if you use a lot of alternate tunings. I have to admit that I would take perverse pleasure in watching Thurston Moore or Lee Renaldo take a screwdriver to one of these things.
They should do an acoustic version next - Joni Mitchell and Ani DiFranco would be all over that.
Oh, and a bass for Michael Manring. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
