Exactly, Kelly. Also, I don't have to completely stop paying attention to the room while it's tuning, I can still be "aware" and banter or whatever.

Bottom line Jason - if the Gibson works for you and helps you make music (the ultimate purpose of the guitar as a "tool"), you don't have to justify it to anyone. Rock on J-Dog!

Thanks Steve!

Very true, and I must agree... but over here in the Netherlands guitar players who consider themselves serious players keep far away from this thing or even laugh about people who have one.

I'd never get one, but that's because they could've simply made a digital guitar without strings that always keeps in tune - the technology exists, it would be like the stringless digital harp!

Yeah, but Jdog already has 8 DG's!!!

I laughed myself until I used it for that gig, how effortless it made the night.

Just to be clear, I knew from the start you didn't have 8, I just thought it was funny when the other person thought that!

I saw a Casio PG 380 in a shop today. I've never seen one of these before!

I am now up to five different tunings on one of my band's sets and this seems like it'd be a great solution to constantly switching guitars and keeping everything in tune. Are you still diggin' it J?

Joni Mitchell was using a V-Guitar to do her 52 tunings a few years ago. I don't know if she still does this or just carries 52 guitars on tour.

Leia: I've got a bad feeling about this...

I still love the robot guitar. However, I recently sold it to Scott aka the tarrbot, so he'lll get to love it as much as me! I'm just thinning the herd. It's a great guitar and if used properly, excellent invention. It's so useful.
