Or at least now anyone can tune a guitar. Gibson unveiled its brand new self-tuning guitar. It’s a Les Paul model and can tune itself in two seconds. The “Powertune System” was developed by Tronical and accoriding to the report,
“The Les Paul Silverburst model is to cost about $2,780 in Japan and $2,499 in the U.S., with self-tuning offered for $900 extra.
Powertune is also listed online for 899 euros, about $600, and Tronical says it can be installed on many different models of electric guitars without leaving a mark.
Ouch. Hmmm…maybe those good old fashioned guitar tuners that cost less and the free ones available online are still the sane way to go.
