My question about the G Force system is will it still work in 50 years? You can buy an original 50s guitar ( if you have deep pockets) and everything will work. The G Force works off a rechargeable battery, and these tend to stop holding their charge after a few years. Are Gibson committing to providing replacement batteries for the system for the next 50 years??? Just a thought. I like the idea of the G Force but I just don't think they have thought it through.
I have just got hold of a 2013 Studio and the standard classic tuners are the nicest, smoothest tuners I have had on a guitar. Keep it simple I say. If it ain't broke........
