    That is really interesting, wondering about the price and longevity though.

    Actually not as bad as i thought it would be.Its a Gibson so its gonna be a bit hefty. I wonder which demographic they're targetting. Most people that would spend 2k+ on a guitar can tune one. :confused:

    lazy **** like myself :D

    seriously, IMO, for a working Guitarist, while on stage, the ability to press a control and in two seconds the instrument is auto tuned, is a major advantage.

    That's some interesting technology, but beyond that I don't see any usefulness. A really good Chromatic tuner is $20....So if it's at this price just for the tuning I would say it's not at all worth it. I'd rather put that much change towards a Les Paul Custom.

    According to the specs you're getting Les Paul custom level hardware (Mahogany and maple, pick ups .... etc.).
    Besides I'm pretty sure the system could be mounted on any Les Paul (or any Guitar ...?).
