Gibson Guitar has released in limited availability the world's first guitar with robotic technology, the Gibson Robot Guitar.

The Gibson Robot Guitar eliminates tuning problems for guitarists, automatically tuning to standard A440 tuning. It also allows players to access six commonly used altered tuning presets at the push of a button. These tunings were used on many well known hit songs, giving players easy access for the very first time. The Gibson Robot Guitar allows the guitar to be intonated in seconds after string changes, truss rod adjustments or change in weather conditions. Finally, with the locking tuner, single string changes or changing the entire set of strings are automated.
