A guitar that tunes itself

If you play the guitar, you must be used to spending a few minutes tuning your guitar. These days are over...

After many years of research Gibson has released the Robot Guitar, a guitar that is able to tune itself in less than a second. The instrument includes robotics technology that allows the processor to recognize the guitar pitch and send a signal to direct the six motor pegs to tighten or loose the strings accordingly. And that's not all, there are six nonstandard preset tunings that you can use to play different styles.

By now, this technology is only available for those who can spend around 2000 € on a guitar, but... who knows? Maybe in the future, there will be a robot in every band to make musicians' lives easier.
