Naradien Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hey guys, would you buy the Wine red color? I think that it looks different than anything i've seen. Under finishes, there is the option there. http://www.gibson.com/en%2Dus/divisions/gibson%20usa/products/lespaul/robotlpstudioltd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlekenny Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I kind of like the manhatten midnight more but I guess they both look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 No ... I won't own any colored robot . I fear technology ... Just the word ROBOT associated with the guitar seems to be an oxymoron ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 If they made a robot 12-string in it I might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 The robot is an interesting concept. But, when I get on stage with a few brews, I am going to argue with it. Like everybody else. I don't like the idea of argueing with my guitar. I expect it, if no-one else, to be on my side. I'll pass. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 You'd have to wear the battery pack on your back . Nah... just drag my trusty Interstate battery out on the stage... 650 cold cranking amps of guitar tuning goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I don't plan to buy a Robot, not worth the $ to me for the tuning gimmick. However, it seems your question was really about color. So assuming Gibson was going to give me one because I am so awesome, would I pick the Wine Red? No. I'd pick one of the metallic colors. Why? Well, it's a Robot that's why! The Silverburst is pretty sweet too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Not sold on the robot, but the wine red color is nice. My first LP was a wine red studio and I thought it was quite striking. Lots of compliments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 getting more tempting now the Fireburst, Desertburst and Wine all look pretty nice. I would be more likely to go for one if they made a standard or traditional now I Guess I don't really want another studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 If I was going to get a Robot, the Wine Red would be at the top of my list of choices. That or the Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 First off let me say you guys are very mistaken about the Robot. I was lucky enough to get a first run limited and I have to tell you it is on of my best sounding guitars. It has a great feel and plays wonderfully... Open your minds... Don't be so..., negative, go to what ever guitar store you like and play one for a while. Give it the benefit of the doubt, you may be very surprised... That being said the tuning thing also comes in very handy and works great. The price is another issue. It may be too pricey as it is being offered now. When I got mine it had an ebony fretboard, a bound neck and headstock and a special hard shell case, very nice all. Now they are just a regular LP Studio that has the robot technology... Also I payed around $700.00 less than what they are being offered for now, they jacked the price way up and lost the nice extra features I already mentioned. Anyway, getting back to the original question, I would get the desertburst or Fireburst but I see no difference between the two colors.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers galore Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I wouldn`t buy a robot either. I do think they should make them with a flame top though. Maybe if they came out with a standard robot, then maybe........nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyteskimo Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 HAHA i see people on this forum dont support the Robot...I however love the idea of changing tunings within half a minute, will come in handy for gigs etc... This is why i am getting one...in Wine Red or Manhattan Blue...both look extremely nice So i guess im in the minority by saying yes i WILL get a Robot in Wine Red...

slimjimdom Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I don't like the robots at all. I have no use for a self tuning guitar. Maybe the guitar could come with some preinstalled classics and play itself too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plank_Spanker Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'll pass on the Robot. I play regular gigs and I like to keep things simple. I can't envision waiting while my guitar tunes itself, or worse yet, dealing with it if it decides to go south and not work right - as in tuning itself while I'm playing it. I'm definitely not a technophobe, but I'll tune my own guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a solid color called purple. Winered is a bit darker than cherry - and translucent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
