If I could only afford this!

I've probably wasted a week's worth of time in my lifetime tuning guitars. I guess if time is in fact money, then this thing pays for itself.

Very cool...

The self tuning and intonation setup is very cool. And hats off to Gibson for the various tuning modes. One used to have separate guitars each tuned differently for some songs and now they can offer a one guitar solution. All that's missing is the robotic capo! :)

Dude! A guitar that tunes itself !

Dude, if you can't tune your own guitar, maybe you should, like, take a few guitar lessons ?
