Want a robot? Massive price drop!

Apparently they aren't selling like they thought they would.

I guess not. Personally I'd get the trans red premium plus, do my own tuning, and save $100.

Yeah, I noticed the green SGs over at Sweetwater.

 

 

I don't see the point of these robot guitars at all. I guess it means that at a gig you can change into open tunings quickly for slide. Personally, I find it's even quicker just to have another guitar tuned to open D on the stand behind me. Plus, the guitar I use for slide will be actually set up for that purpose.

 

Of all the extra specifications I could think of for a guitar, self-tuning by computer would be pretty low on my list. I'm not suprised they're not selling. As I recall, the review in Guitar Player of the LP Robot basically read like, "great guitar but self-tuning kind of sucks."

I know one person that is a very gifted guitarist and collects some beautiful pieces and he loves the robot.

 

I know more people that have owned them and gotten rid of them though. One out of a LOT isn't a good ratio.
