Haven't tried it myself, I'm waiting until they release a guitar that drives itself to the show and plays the gig for you ;)

As lazy as the principle of automatic tuning sounds, I can't help but imagine the Robot being great for tuning between songs at a gig. Too bad Les Paul's are not my favorite guitars. They are great, but I wouldn't use one all of the time.

Its probably good for fast down/up-tuning. But i heard that they break often.

Looks gimmicky,

Takes quite a while by the looks of it, it's chunky as when you're not looking at the guitar straight on and it looks like it only works for their tuning presets?

Just turn the nob left then right 3 times, press the button twice, then wait, press it 3 times again, turn it left and it'll will autotune!

After using one for quite some time now, the guitar is not all that and not worth buying, I'm glad I didn't. The bindings are shitty. Feels like a cheap version of a Les Paul Studio and feels very fragile, as if you don't want to push your playing cause you might do something to it. Hard to believe so many great musicians have stuck to it since it came out.

The good thing is that this system makes rehearsing and live performances so, oh so much comfortable for someone who hates locks as much as I do.
Can't wait for ze Germans to perfection this idea... for our sake.
