Self-Tuning Electric Guitar

avirrey writes "The Technology Review has an interesting article on a Gibson Self-Tuning Guitar. Purist argue that you shouldn't need a guitar that self-tunes. Others argue that this will allow an artist to change tuning with one 'favorite' guitar, instead of having to swap out between songs." Ok I know what I think- freakin' sweet. Only technology will guarantee my sucking on the electric will at least be reasonably in-tune suckiness. Dear Gibson, Slashdot really needs to review your guitar. We'll need several review units and we lost your return address.

Silly technological overkill

[Neon Aardvark]

It takes me (and most other guitarists) a few seconds to tune a guitar.

It's a pleasant, harmless little ritual, and somewhat calming before you play a gig.

This is a silly and expensive gizmo, IMO.
