stoz Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well, its happened. My Naturalburst Gibson SG robot lasted a fortnight, and now the A string tuner has packed in. I can hear the motor running, but the button doesn't turn. How crap. I am so disappointed - anyone had experience of UK service & repairs on these things? I'm going to take it to Guitar Guitar in Newcastle, where I bought it. I just hope they don't send it to the states for repair & leave me axeless for yonks.

CharlieP Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Pull the A string tuner out then push all the way back in. You should feel it click. Then retry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontrowme Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I had the same problem, I am now on my 3rd robot and it is heading back in for another warranty repair! My problem was the high E tuning peg. It would twist itself out of auto tune on my first one, the replacement guitar was clearly used and Gibson said it was new and my third one, well, the high e tuning peg was DOA. I was promised the 3rd one was being personally inspected by the manager or Gibson USA QC.... The robots are junk and you have no idea how much it breaks my heart to say that about a Gibson.

stoz Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well, mine is now on its way to Holland. Yes, Holland, to have the defective tuner replaced. (At least thats what the guy in the shop is expecting them to do with it). I also told him about an issue where the tuners disengage themselves from the drive during string-down mode. I have to say, this looks like an under-developed product to me. Depressed. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieP Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 That is where the new tuner system should be a vast improvement. You don't have to disengage them to manually tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoz Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Sounds interesting. Where is the info regarding new tuners coming from? I wonder if, when it comes, it will be a product-recall or a user-pays-for-upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieP Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 User pays for upgrade! This has been advertised by Gibson as a coming upgrade package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
