The first of its kind and also a very limited edition of the Les Paul Gibson electric guitar is the Gibson Robot Guitar. This new limited edition robotic guitar, is the only guitar to feature its own processor and motorized tuning knobs. The Gibson Robot Guitar is a self-tuning guitar years ahead of its time. Only 4,000 units of the Les Paul Gibson Robot guitar will be made, that is only 10 units for each of Gibson’s 400 nation-wide retailers.

So are you still wondering what all the fuss is about on the new Gibson Robot Guitar? That’s simple; the robot guitar features its own built-in central processing unit and motorized tuning knobs which automatically increases or decreases each individual string until the guitar as a whole is in tune. Not only can this automatic tuner choose from the standard EADGBe tuning, it can also choose any number of possible alternat tuning styles based on what your playing style is.

Not only can it switch for tuning purposes, but can be switched on the fly much faster than manual tuning. From DADGAD to Open D, the Gibson Robot Guitar is no doubt one of the biggest steps in guitar technology in recent years. In standard electric guitars, we all know that tuning perfect intonations requires sending your guitar to the local repair shop and forking over $50 or more to have you guitar tuned. It only takes a short amount of time sitting in front of a computer setting up all of your presets, but doing this can save you a lot of money over time due to the ability to tune your Les Pau Robot Guitar with ease.

Not only is the Gibson Electric Guitar a technological marvel, but the paint job is anything but plain. This Robot Guitar features a “Silver Burst” paint scheme in high-gloss that starts with a center of bright silver and then fading out magnificently to a bright blue along the outer edges of the Les Paul body. This new paint job is also a one of a kind limited edition as it was specifically designed for the Gibson Robot Guitar and as of right now there are no plans on releasing this paint scheme on any of their other lines.

Although there are many pluses, well much more than any other guitar, it also has its draw-backs which of course have to do with its technology. From time to time the tuner is unable to pick out the final two strings, but it only slows down the tuning process by only a small amount. Another issue is that due to its technology, you can not just take it to your local repair shop if anything fails. Other than these minor issues, the guitar is solid and a definite must have addition to any collection.

No matter how you look at it, the new limited edition Gibson Robot Guitar lives up fully to all of the hype that has been generated about it without even thinking. The guitar’s novelty self-tuning capabilities is a definitely positive innovation to the guitar industry.
