Except the robot guitar costs $3000 USD!!!

You are basically paying an extra $2000 for using your own fingers and your ear in what takes 2 minutes to let a robot do the work for you instead. BTW, I had this idea years ago to have a self-tuning guitar that would do multiple tunings as well, why didn't I patent it???

I didn't see the price I just saw the video thought it was kinda cool, if it was programmable alot of guitarists would probably love it, nice quick change of tuning between songs.

I would love it, no more stupid tuners to tune any strings, and easy switch between songs. The guitar is awesome, the price isn't.

not interested. The day it goes haywire, is the day you are screwed.
I'll stick with my ovation that has a tuner built in

It would be nice if the intonation setting was also robotic, but it's lame, it just tells you to turn the screw yourself Might as well get a normal guitar.

Or instead of $3000 for a guitar so you can have different tunings easily, spend the money to get several guitars with different tunings (and other things as well).

This is going to put the roadies on the sides of the stage out of work!

For the love of God, won't somebody think of the roadies?
