Gibson Guitar Launches Les Paul Robot LP Studio Lt

[cofi]

I suppose I could post this on the SG page or (as I have done) here,

For those about to rock, hang on. Legendary axe maker Gibson has just taken to the stage to announce not one but two new self-tuning robot guitars.
Gibson Guitar Launches Les Paul Robot LP Studio Ltd. And Robot SG Special

Gibson Robot LP Studio

Gibson Robot SG Special Ltd

Gibson Guitars have announced a limited edition offering of the new Gibson Robot Les Paul Studio and Robot SG Special after huge demand from worldwide fans and musicians. The demand, stemming from the release of the first Gibson Robot Guitar model in December of 2007, offers fans a chance to own one of the most sought after and innovative musical products ever to be introduced

Making they're debut in the robot guitar world, the Gibson Robot SG Special and the Les Paul Studio Ltd, are available in Prince's favourite colour: metallic purple. Like the Les Paul from last year it's got the same micro-motors in the tuning pegs and magical pixies in the strings to automatically tune the guitar with just one strum.

The limited edition SG also comes with a Neutrik Jak which secures the cord into the axe to prevent accidentally unplugging midway through your finger-burning solo.

After the original Robot Les Paul sold out quicker than you can say 'lick my love pump', Gibson has also decided to carve another super-special version of the iconic axe. The Les Paul Studio Ltd will also come in Prince-pleasing metallic purple and of course pack all the clever gubbins to take tuning duties out of your talented hands.

I like very much the SG now this I call proper guitar not like that other one, the Birdfishes guitar thing

Yes she very nice, me like it lot

[sparky]

I like these, like them a lot, I think the only thing I dont like about them is their color, I wish Gibson would bring them out in a burst, or a different solid color apart from this one, like Black, or red,

But the idea of the guitar is awesome, especially if you do drop tuning, it would save you carrying another guitar around with you,

Yeah I agree the idea is a good one, a great idea in fact, especially if you cant tune up by ear, (not many can in my experience) and for being able to drop tune on stage as a lot of folk's do these day's.

Also, I'm with you about the lack of color options, I will-would not by this guitar, for the fact, I cant stand the color
I would have liked to have seen more options available for folk's to have a choice. that's my opinion and 2penny worth,
