Well you just have to make sure there's a set of BKPs installed first and then that won't be a problem :D. That does look too good to be true though.

lol yeh bkps as standard..

i know what you mean by too good to be true... but ive always thought about this in my head... why couldnt a computer find out how much a machinehead needs to be turned by and then do it.... its not actually THAT complicated if you think about it... its just complicated in context to guitars....

Seem's to me this is somthing oh so usefull pah!

If you need a tool to tune a guitar it would seem either you are butt lazy or don't have arms.
If you don't have arms, what the h*ll are you doing with a guitar.

There is a TV show just started over here called "American Inventor", by the folks who brought out X-Factor and American Idol, yay  :roll:

This is summit like the people on there would bring out!
I dare say someone will buy it but really............sheesh!

it would be handy if they would always be on tune mode so that you can play away and no matter hom much you bend or use a classic style whammyit would remain in perfect pitch
but that would be far too complicated to have work but it would be nice to have every not you play be perfectly in tune all the time

-youd play longer too...

i guess it's because the tuning is mathematically perfect. There's a difference between mathmatically perfect tuning and audibly perfect tuning. a guitar should be tuned as a piano - which is not mathematically perfect, but to the ear it sounds that way. This is what the buzz feiten system was trying to figure out wasn't it?
