Finally I may be able to play something from Blood on the Tracks without spending several days trying to get my guitar back in tune.

But legendary guitar-maker  <STRONG>Gibson</STRONG> has taken on the challenge of making a user-friendly instrument that tunes itself, known as the "Robot Guitar." The technology has been in the works for ten years, and on Friday the guitar will finally hit stores with a retail price of $2,499.  </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.forbes.com/2007/12/04/gibson-robot-guitar-face-markets-cx_ll_1204autofacescan01.html"><DIV>
The famous Gibson Les Paul design is intact, and apparently sounds the same as always, but with the twist of a peg and a few strums the Robot Guitar comes to life and tunes itself. Tunings are pre-set, meaning that guitarists can switch from Metallica to Joni Mitchell without spending an hour fiddling with the strings.  </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9F276F19-70B6-40EC-8FA0-AD1C28C52C93/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
