If you’ve been wondering why you can’t reproduce some of guitar sounds made by some of the greats it could be because you suck or it could be because they use nonstandard tuning. The Les Paul Robot Guitar reproduces the nonstandard tuning so you can reproduce the sound, it will also just keep your guitar in standard tune with no hassles. It’s only available in a limited edition first run of 4,000 at 400 stores worldwide in exclusive Blue Silverburst, so you might want to think before setting it on fire after playing Purple Haze.

Help is at hand from what is described as the world's first robot guitar -- an electric guitar that not only keeps itself in tune even after string changes but also allows players to access six nonstandard tunings at the push of a button. After 15 years of research, Gibson Guitar is launching a limited edition Les Paul Robot Guitar next month that has set players abuzz with both enthusiasm and skepticism. "It will not make you a better guitar player but it will allow the average player to access some very sophisticated tunings," Gibson Guitar Chief Executive Henry Juszkiewicz told Reuters on Tuesday. The six nonstandard preset tunings were used on hits ranging from "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones and Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" to Led Zeppelin's "Going to California" and Joni Mitchell's "The Circle Game." Gibson says the robot guitar is aimed at amateurs who have a hard time keeping their guitars in tune, as well as professionals who now use technicians during concerts to keep about 100 guitars tuned to different keys. "Professional guitar players use a lot of different tuning and people who listen to the stars wonder why they can't reproduce the same sound themselves," Juszkiewicz said. (news.yahoo)
