I need some help!

I have had this guitar a while and it worked awesome but I tried to charged it today but doesnt worked!

I did all the stuff the manual says, I even changed the chord but it doesnt work

I turned the MCK out, pushed the C led and the battery level came, when the guitar was seeking for its charger I connected the adaptor to the guitar with a standar guitar chord, the adaptor came green but the guitar was still shining red and after 120 seconds it turned off .... HELP!

I know this is way off-topic, but this reminds me of the Xbox 360s "RROD". Just like Microsoft should stick to it's main area of "expertise" which is software, Gibson should just continue to do what they do best, build guitars! I mean, what's next? A guitar that also plays itself?![-(

You might want to post this in the Robot Guitar section - I noticed that a Tronical employee (the company that makes the robot tuners) has posted a reply to a question posted by a Robot owner. He might be able to help!

This is why a guitar is a guitar and not supposed to be a piece of machine with all kind of futuristic bells and whistles.

 

People can do all kind of futuristic experiments on cars, mobile phones with great results, as long as they keep their hands off guitars. It's still the individual piece of wood that makes a guitar a guitar, no matter if its an acoustic or electric guitar.

Funnily enough Segovia said the same about the electric guitar. He called it an "abomination of the instrument" (or abomination of the guitar)...he would have regarded it probably as a machine with bells and whistles.

 

So many people miss the point of the tuning system. On stage you can change to a completely different tuning while introducing your next song/piece. It is a very versatile guitar in this respect and great for live work.

+1 Sear

 

Robot tuning is definitely a plus for those who use alt/open tunings. Being able to tune to standard pitch is a bonus for people who have difficulty tuning, but that's really not the point. Alt/open tunings, although time consuming to setup, are currently very popular. The robot saves alot of tuning time, allowing you to make many tuning changes on one guitar instead of having to lug around several, each with its own alt/open tuning. That's why there is a Gibson acoustic robot on they way. and no, the world isn't coming to an end.
