It's a very cool concept, but I'm always wary of gadgets like that for long term use. I doubt very much something like that would have an easy fix.

Pretty sad,actually... The dial tone on the phone is an F#, if your fingers and ears can't do the rest, play the drums....

I think that guitar is really cool! I'm not sure I would spend the $3000 they are going to want for it. It would be fun to jump to all those open tunings that fast.

Maybe the thing will work well enough in the future that you could actually get rid of the locking nut on a Floyd guitar.

Who's planning on getting one of those? On one hand, I don't like the idea of too much technology on a guitar - what was good for Hendrix and Plant, should be good for all of us. On the other hand - this self tuning will be so comfortable when playing a show. There's actually a poll about these new robot guitars, where they ask if you're going to buy it:

I'm more into the string winding and intonation, but jumping from Standard to Open Dsus4 or C# would be cool.
