daveinspain Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 $300.00 well spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 $300.00 well spent! Lol.. I was only kidding.. A good pedal can cost that much.. it was just the way he said it :) I have to admit.. I think they got it right with this one.. Because its so unobtrusive to the look of the guitar and easy to install as an upgrade... Im in no rush for it though... when the day comes again that I have that sort of money spare then maybe I will give it a go.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quapman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I have never been annoyed with tuning a guitar enough to be impressed by these systems. On a 12 string maybe but for the most I give it a "meh"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Pretty cool. I'd have to be convinced that there's no extra mass on the headstock or at least that it wouldn't effect the way the guitar resonates. Henry needs a few weeks in some kind of finishing school where they teach rich guys to be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an original robot and love it... It's my goto guitar... I do have more of a problem spending $300 on a pedal that contains about $20 worth of components where as a guitar has a lot more craftsmanship and materials...

badbluesplayer Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Very cool. I can envision these things becoming really popular. I still don't like the mass on the headstock. It gives me the heebie geebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 So according to Henry's video - it is weightless, and doesn't cost anything. What world does he live in? It is a cool system, but after 50 years of tuning not something I am going to run out and trade my Les Paul just to get one with this on it. Agree with some of the other posters - in spite of what Henry says, it has to weigh something and effect the way the neck feels in your hand. I had to adjust from an old LP with Kluson tuning keys to a newer one with Grovers. The Grovers are just heavier and make the guitar feel different in your hand. Would be really nice for live stage work though - instant change to drop D or whatever tuning you want, and instant tune up after a solo where you bash the hell out of your guitar and pull strings out of tune.
