Gibson's Robot Guitar, the world's first guitar with robotic tuning technology is now available as a Flying V. The Gibson Robot Flying V is an electric guitar that offers all the power, tone, and performance of a traditional Flying V model, with the addition of the revolutionary Robot automatic tuning system. You don't have to tune up your guitar every time you play it. The Robot Guitar does it for you. Just plug it in, dial in the tuning, strum the strings, and play.
The self-tuning system is built into a gorgeous Gibson Flying V guitar without changing its looks. All the sound and playability that have made the Flying V one of the most successful electric guitars of all time is retained. To tune itself, the Robot Guitar uses an onboard central processing unit that analyzes the pitch of each string as detected by the Tune-Control bridge. Tuning information from the CPU is relayed to the motorized tuning machines that efficiently adjust each string to the correct pitch with a distinctive whirring sound that lets you know the Robot Guitar is on the job.
You activate the Gibson Robot Flying V with the Master Control Knob that functions as a tone control in the down position and is pulled up to activate the tuning system. In addition to standard (A-440Hz) tuning, six commonly used tunings are selectable from the MCK. Users can also program their own custom tunings as well as set the guitar's intonation. Now, with the Gibson Robot Guitar, you'll spend more time playing-in tune. In live performance you can easily change tunings practically soundlessly on the fly, keeping your show flowing smoothly. There's no longer any need to haul several instruments to the gig to cover various tunings; The Robot Guitar does it all for you!
