Select the last video in the list titled “Instructions”.
While this guitar is a direct counter option to the latest strat that fender developed (the VG Strat). The VG strat simulates alternate tunings and other Fender guitar sounds via signal sent through the guitar - (not by physical changes). Gibson took it one step further. this fucking thing tunes itself, corrects intonation, and strings itself. At first I look at the video and think - “holy shit - this is crazy sick stuff.” but then if i think longer i think that this is just another tool that is going to enable low-talent jack-asses to put out music. Kinda like the digital medium has done to solid talent.
“hey, can you play that riff in-time. No? fuck it we’ll just run it through my mac grab your best phrase and loop it - no worries on getting your rhythm correct.”
i still think its pretty cool tho that it tunes itself. heh
