That is pretty freakin cool. Amazing that those little motors have so much torque.

Ok, so you add another 900 or so to the price of an already overpriced high end guitar!;)

The way you talk about "over priced guitars".... I take it you're not a fan of made in USA products?

Not really. Think about it, how embarrassed(sp?) would you be if you were in the middle of a kick ass solo and your guitar went out of tune? Unless if you've got a locks, your guitar is gonna go out of tune no matter what. This device, although hella expensive, is really great, because all you gotta do is play, and no matter what, it'll ALWAYS be in tune! I dunno, that's just the way I see it :)

jimmy page was using one of these back in '98 by a company called transperformance...which i think was a bit more complicated, but also maybe a bit more effective for changing tunings on the fly..I know there are a bunch of zep songs in dadgad and other open tunings.
