I'm sure this topic has been flogged to death, but I'm new in this world and searching hasn't yielded anything concrete.
I've seen many threads referring to a potential upgrade for some of the early Robot models. It's not at all clear to me which guitars are likely to be upgradeable and exactly what the upgrades are. Perhaps these are mysteries to everyone and my question is moot.
I guess the newer versions are faster and have smaller tuners. Is there something else that I'm not aware of? I see mentions of the MCK
ng different on newer versions. How so? More available tunings? Does it do something beyond the functions that exist in the first gen?
I believe my newly acquired SG Special Robot is from the first generation. It was made in '08. Am I correct on that.
And here's a really embarrassing question. I see a lot of refs to GOR. What does that stand for? Gibson Original Robot maybe?
So the key question is, what is expected in this upgrade, should it in fact ever arrive?
Thanks,
Greg
