Jan 07, 2008 Yesterday, Gibson Guitars released its self-tuning Robot Guitar. It'll add about $800 to the price of a new guitar (it's available only on mid-range guitars with street prices over $2,000), and will compete against a self-tuning guitar add-on from TransPerfomance, which runs.
Well-played looks, ultra-high performance. The Les Paul Faded 2017 HP looks like it has been worn in to fit your hand and hot-rodded to suit your playing style, but a closer look reveals that this guitar has been engineered for versatile contemporary performance. A new Ultra-Modern weight relief, a slim-taper neck with soloist's width, a fast-access neck heel, 61R and 61T humbuckers, titanium.

Apr 30, 2018 Gibson to sue Tronical as it brands auto-tuning firm’s lawsuit “a public relations stunt”. Last week’s news that Tronical, the market leader in automatic tuning systems for guitars, is suing Gibson for $50 million sent shockwaves around the industry. The Gibson Robot Guitar is a limited-edition self-tuning Gibson guitar, typically a Les Paul. The first run of limited edition Robot Guitars was exclusively made up of Les Paul bodies. Five different Gibson models were available with Robot Guitar features: The Robot Les Paul Studio, Robot SG, Robot Flying V, Robot X-plorer, and a Robot Les Paul Junior. Developed by Chris Adams, its most notable feature is that it uses an onboard computer to automatically tune itself. This is not the first guitar.

Tronical—a German company that produces automatic guitar tuning systems—announced today that it is suing Gibson brands for $50 million dollars over a breach of contract relating to their exclusive development agreement.

While the legal action has been pending before the Hamburg State Court since December 2017, today's motion sets a new amount of damages stemming from the fallout between the companies.

In an article posted by MusicRadar this morning, Tronical founder Chris Adams is quoted as saying, 'Tronical is claiming licensing fees to the amount of 23 million U.S. dollars from the share in the profits agreed in the contract, and a further 27 million U.S. dollars on the grounds of Gibson’s breach of contract of the exclusive research and development agreement with Tronical, which Gibson should have met by 2026.'

First used by Gibson in 2007, Tronical's auto-tuning systems were controversially added to almost all standard Gibson models in 2015. This decision was met by skepticism by many in the guitar community, and reversed in the following model year.

This latest suit adds to a growing list of financial hurdles that Gibson faces in 2018. As widely reported earlier this year, current Gibson ownership faces the maturation of $375 million in senior secured notes this summer, which carries the risk of bankruptcy for the historic company.

The Gibson Robot Guitar (a.k.a. GOR) is a limited-edition self-tuning Gibson guitar, typically a Les Paul.^[1]^[2] The first run of limited edition Robot Guitars was exclusively made up of Les Paul bodies.^[3] Five different Gibson models were available (2008-2011, Robot X-plorer 2008-2012)) with Robot Guitar features: The Robot Les Paul Studio,^[4] Robot SG,^[5] Robot Flying V, Robot X-plorer, and a Robot Les Paul Junior. Developed by Chris Adams, its most notable feature is that it uses an onboard computer to automatically tune itself. This is not the first guitar to be able to tune itself,^[6] but it is regarded as the most modern, unique, and non-invasive self-tuning model available, because it does not employ cams or cantilevers throughout the body of the guitar.^[7] The non-limited edition SG and Les Paul Studio are available in a variety of finishes. The Flying V and Explorer are only available in metallic red. The price can range from about $1,000-$3,000 or more for custom options. In the case of the 'Original 1st Production' Robot guitar the only finish available was Blue Silverburst nitrocellulose, a color which Gibson has stated will never be used on any other Gibson guitar (see photo to the right). The original Robot guitar also featured headstock and neck binding which are not standard on any current Les Paul Robot as well as a chrome truss rod cover with 'Robot Guitar' engraved. The production version featured 22-fret rosewood-bound (standard finishes) or white-bound (metallic finishes) ebony fingerboard with figured acrylic trapezoid inlays, white-bound headstock with MOP Gibson logo and flowerpot inlay (metallic finishes) or unbound headstock with screened logo (standard finishes), three-per-side robotic Powerhead Locking tuners, tune-o-matic Powertune bridge, Powertune stop tailpiece, two chrome covered humbucker pickups (490R, 498T), four knobs (three normal, and one Master Control Knob that controls the robotic actions of the guitar), three-way pickup switch, Neutrik jack on side of guitar, chrome hardware.

Technical information[edit]

The tuning system used on the Gibson Robot Guitar is based on the aftermarket Powertune system, which was developed by the Tronical Company of Germany.^[2] The Gibson system uses the standard Tune-o-matic style bridge typical on their guitars, but modifications were made to have individual piezo saddles that transmit each string's pitch to the microprocessor.^[7] The computer analyzes the signal, and then controls each of the Powerhead Locking Tuners. Each tuner is run by a small servo motor that works in sync with the bridge to bring the string up to pitch by altering the string's tension until it is within a desired tolerance.^[2] The entire system is powered by a nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery pack housed in the control cavity of the guitar.^[8]

Features and functionality[edit]

The Robot Guitar appears to have the standard four knobs for individual pickup volume and tone controls; however, in place of the bridge pickup tone knob, there is the Master Control Knob (MCK).^[8] The control functions like a “push-pull” knob: when in the down position, it functions like a standard control. When in the up position, however, the MCK is what coordinates the automatic tuning for the guitar by sending the information and power to the neck PCB through the strings. Then the PCB acti
