Gibson Guitar has announced the world’s first self tuning guitar with what the guitar manufacturers claims is “robotic technology.” It is even calling the self-tuner, the Gibson Robot Guitar (Yeesh! Nothing makes you want to run out to your local guitar store with a name like that! —Ed.).
Gibson has been on the forefront of incorporating the latest technology into their guitars, and the Robot Guitar is no exception. The system consists of five high technology components which are extremely light and do not change the instrument’s sound in any way, according to Gibson. A control knob (which also serves at the volume knob) enables the tuning with a simple push or pull. Each tuner is equipped with specialized servo motors. As the motorized tuners adjust the pitch of the strings they are monitored by means of a Tune-Control Bridge.
