It’s the first lesson usually in a learn guitar dvd or from a private instructor, how to tune your guitar. Well it looks as if Gibson guitars is going to eliminate the need to tune a guitar yourself. Personally I think it’s great, but some may disagree.
This new feature as of right now is only available on one current model the Gibson “dark fire”, but it comes equipped to handle up to 16 different types of tunings including standard and several dropped tunings.
For anyone who plays live and just hates having to always stare down at that tuning peddle between songs this could be a great feature.
Of course the feature isn’t going to be for everyone since the guitar is well over $3000 USD. It’s possible that maybe anyone wanting to spend that kinda bucks on an electric guitar may have someone off stage right tuning their several guitars for them while they’re playing.
None the less it’s neat new technology coming down the line and if technology has taught us anything what seems luxury right now won’t stay that long forever. Thing back it wasn’t that long ago that flat panel displays and LCD or Plasma TV’s seemed to be the high end of that market only to become the standard today.
