Gibson's Robot Guitar, the world's first guitar with robotic tuning
technology is available once again. You don't have to tune up your car
every time you drive it. Now you don't have to tune up your guitar
every time you play it. The Robot Guitar does it for you. Just plug it
in, dial in the tuning, strum the strings, and play.
The
self-tuning system is built into a gorgeous Gibson Les Paul Studio
guitar without changing its looks. All the sound and playability that
have made the LP one of the most successful electric guitars of all
time are retained. To tune itself, the Robot Guitar uses an onboard
central processing unit (CPU) that analyzes the pitch of each string as
detected by the Tune-Control bridge. Tuning information from the CPU is
relayed to the motorized tuning machines that efficiently adjust each
string to the correct pitch with a distinctive whirring sound that lets
you know Robot Guitar is on the job.
You activate the Gibson
Les Paul Robot Guitar with the Master Control Knob (MCK) that functions
as a tone control in the down position and is pulled up to activate the
tuning system. In addition to standard (A-440Hz) tuning, six commonly
used tunings are selectable from the MCK. Users can also program their
own custom tunings as well as set the guitar's intonation. Now, with
the Gibson Robot Guitar, you'll spend more time playing in tune. In
live performance you can easily change tunings practically soundlessly
on the fly, keeping your show flowing smoothly. There's no longer any
need to haul several instruments to the gig to cover various tunings;
The Robot does it all for you!
The Robot Les Paul Studio Ltd.
has a chambered mahogany body with maple top and nitrocellulose finish.
The mahogany neck is hand-shaped into a rounded 50s profile and is
topped with an ebony fretboard. A Gibson 490R humbucker with Alnico II
magnets in the neck position and 498T humbucker with Alnico V magnets
in the bridge position provide that Patent Applied For sound.
Four-conductor wiring allows connection of a push/pull pot for
coil-splitting. Wax potting reduces the chances of microphonic
feedback. The performance-safeguarding Neutrik jack secures the cord
into the guitar.
