The Self-Tuning Guitar

Posted by michael on from the here-comes-the-bride dept.

CowboyRobot writes "With the TransPerformance Performer you push a button to activate a mechanical re-tensioning of the strings to any of a few hundred tunings, 'accurate to within 2 cents over the entire tuning range', in a couple of seconds. They can even refit your existing guitar. There's a long audio interview with Jimmy Page on the site. It's funny to hear him speak."

    Modded up and down so quickly...

    I forget which models (Belmont rings a bell) but old Vauxhalls with automatic transmition tuned the engine inbetween gear changes to prevent that horrible lag.

    I suspect the majority of automatic cars do it these days.
