NOW if only I could ATTACH one of those things to the MICROPHONE- WHILE I AM SINGING.!!!!
They have something for it. It's called autotune :p
or you learn to do it with your voice
Randy Lott Hahah, how does it make you go down in pitch?
+Dylan Lopez +Randy Lott Crocodile clip on left ball crocodile clip on your right nipple wired up to the tuning mechanism pitch perfect
+041c0unt3rPart I KNEW IT !!!!...
they need to invent a device that goes on the bridge that will allow it to intonate itself.
Yes!!
my god would my problems be solved!
What would take hours, in seconds!
it takes about 1 or 2 minutes per string
And while we're at it, make it adjust action and truss rod as well. And create an exchange platform where you can download your favorite artists' setups. ;)
This system wasn't designed for "tone-deaf" players. It's main purpose is to facilitate quick re-tuning during a live performance. If you just play in your room or can afford a guitar tech to re-tune multiple guitars offstage then you don't need this. If you're a solo artist and travel with one instrument this system may help you add one or two more songs per set from timed saved from tuning.
fretkillrlives Or it might unravel your high E string in between songs because it hears the harmonic on your 5A string at the 7th fret and thinks it's the 1e. When they work, they're great. But when they don't work, it's just one more thing that can and will go wrong. It's not a matter of "IF"... It's "WHEN".

I only tried this system in-store for an hour and it worked on all tunings as intended. I played single open strings and turned off the tuner when the guitar was in tune. I didn't try to trick it by playing harmonics. In a live concert setting I've seen many performers lose the audience while they struggle for long periods trying to tune their guitars in between songs using visual tuners. This tuning system would benifet a performer in that scenario. With any advancing technologies there's a balance between the cost and benefit of making your job easier and the possibility of having it fail and eventually becoming obsolete. Those of you who suffer from the fear of "if and when" may want to avoid getting on airplanes and elevators. Guitar strings break but we keep using them. :-)
fretkillrlives I didn't try and trick it, it was a straight up malfunction. Even though I was playing the open A string, it was hearing the harmonic on the VIIth fret and tried to re-tune the 1e string... I fully agree about the cost/benefit perspective. Even standard tuning keys can malfunction, and yes, strings do break on occasion. But I break a string once every 6 or 7 months, and it's been years since a standard tuning key malfunctioned on me. I was playing this SG for 30 minutes... I like the idea of the Min-Etuner, I really do understand the utility of it, but in my experience, it's not quite ready for prime time yet. For those who have one and it works and you like it, ignore all the negative noise. For those who don't have one yet and are considering getting one, just keep my comments in mind. If the system worked as advertised, they would charge more and get it. The reality is they are discounting these guitars steeply, as the market reception has been less than stellar. The market might not always be right, but it's the market that ultimately decides...

I recommend readers search "Min Etune" and download the manual and learn how to use it and then go to a store and try it first-hand. The unit I tried was on an Epiphone Hummingbird and it worked flawlessly and tuned the guitar in 15-30 seconds playing the single open strings. I just search several major on-line sellers and could not find any heavily discounted guitars with the newest Min Etune system. The stand-alone unit retails for over $300 US. I'm going to retest the Min Etune tomorrow and talk to the salesman about user feedback.

I went to a major retailer yesterday and played an Epiphone FT-350SCE equipped with the Tronical Min-Etune tuners. I pressed the power button and all the LEDs light up. I then played each single string starting with the high E. It took under 3 seconds for the tuner to automatically tune each string and see the string's LED indicator turn from red to green. After the tuner tuned the low E and all the LEDs were green, the Min-Etune system turns itself off. The guitar was in tune as well as anyone could tune a guitar. The entire process took under 30 seconds. I repeated the process 3 times and the Min-Etune system worked fine. The salesman said the Min-Etune's battery hasn't been recharged since the guitar has been on display for over three months. During a live performance you can easily tune one string in under 3 seconds. You can even calibrate the tuner to harmonicas that aren't exactly A 440. It can also store a custom tuning. This is the perfect solution for a player who wants to avoid wasting valuable stage time struggling to tune their guitar.
I think that everyone should learn to tune their guitar manually but on stage this would be great so that you could use one guitar if you needed alternate tunings
FrStProductions obviously if someone doesnt have the ability to tune a guitar, its likely that they also dont have the skill to play live
^not disagreeing with u, just adding on
It's cheaper than having a dozen Gibsons at different tunings...
Especially when you may need a setup for lower tunings
*gibbons
Seems kinda strange that in this day and age they couldn't have put a little LCD screen on it so you don't have to memorize color banks and what tuning is where.
Yeah...it's so much easier to remember alternate tunings...
I think he means more like instead of remembering colours you could scroll down to tuning names like "drop D" or "Eb" or "DADGAD" and so on.
A screen would have made it much better and in this day and age not only is it surprising that it doesnt have a screen but its also surprising that theres not some app for a bloody apple product so that you can tune your guitar via wifi while you take a dump.
an lcd screen would be a nightmare because it would cut the battery life, increase the cost and weight and be less visual from a glance when you're performing. Going by 6 horizontal letters and colours, it's much easier use.
@@Hello_there_obi
Lcd would not be on constantly. They have a better version called powertune that does this. It lasts a year on average for most. It connects to phone as well so you can use the app to quickly select tunings as well so it's easier to see several tunings all at once on your library instead of scroll through or create presets and remember the order you put them at
Actually you can buy one of these for your guitar, it is retrofit. The company Tronical makes these with the tuners already attached to it, whether your guitar has a six-inline style, like a strat, or 3 on each side, like a Les Paul, you can buy these to fit the guitar you already have.
Tuning? What the heck is that, think I'll ask my roadie.
But I still want to replace the tunners
I like it .... don't know why others are saying it is bad
Xenovz It may have a lot to do with the fact that you are likely a millennial, and as such you have been indoctrinated by pre teen and teen TV programming, etc. to think that your elders are just goofy fuckwits who know nothing by comparison to your own generation and are merely to be tolerated for as long as they remain around, while you defer to pop culture, the scientific community and government for any answers that you cannot pull out of your own ass.
Tsadi9Mem9Khet9 projecting much?
Big words from a big man, right there.
Wil Grundon
Yes, a bigger man than you could ever imagine, in fact.
ahh, now I get it.... You're a crazy person. God luck with that, dude.
I see this as a fine educational aid. Tunings you might not be inclined to take time to tune are available to you now in a quick fashion. Consider a good set of tuners can run $70, it's not that expensive in comparison.
hadnt considered that. Good point!
Wow. The contrast to current AndertonsTV videos is staggering. It's like going back to the first season of peep show.
Now I need one for my 12 string.
Yo you are on to something
I tried one today. It was amazing to see the system in action. It worked well and seemed like an incredible invention.
Would it hurt to plug into an amp to hear it better?
A friend of mine returned an SG that had one of these. It worked most of the time, but sometimes it would mistake the VIIth fret A string harmonic for a high E string, and it would completely unwind the high E. Cool idea, but it's simply not reliable enough to use professionally. If you need a guitar in E standard, and another in open G, and yet another in DADGAD, the most reliable solution is still just to bring 3 different guitars. It's just one more thing that can potentially go wrong. I can see these being a liability that lowers the resale value of the guitar they're attached to. In fact, my friend got his SG on a blow-out clearance deal, so it's already happening... Makes me wonder how hard it would be to retrofit standard tuners to a guitar that originally came with Min-Etuners.
He must have left it permanently switched on . Surely a dumb move with any battery-powered device . Just briefly check between songs , then turn it off .
I am the best guitarist in the world but I am also the worst tuner in the world. So I love the auto tuner. It's just new technology like Marshall amps and pedals once were new technology. There is a Jimi Hendrix TV show here on UA-cam in which his guitar is out of tune most of the time, he was having a bad day or his monitors weren't ok and I'm sure he would have been happy with the auto-tuner that day. Do I have the courage to compare myself to Jimi Hendrix? Yes, because as I already said, I'm the best guitarist in the world. And my secret is: always remain modest. That will get you anywhere.
I just liked my own response and I'm gonna like this one too.
To be quite honest I don't understand shit in your comment.
Rieni Otten Didn't mean anything by it. It was just that first you said that you're the best guitarist in the world, then you talked about a Jimi Hendrix show, then you compared yourself to him and in the end say that we should be modest. Just got me kinda confused.
Someguy528
I guess you're German or American. They have always been infamous for their lack of sense of humor. Brits usually do get it.
Kai Burns Which is exactly why I don't understand anything. It's like those alcohol commercials that advertise drinking all the time and then tell you to drink responsibly.
I have been very interested in the min-Etune and how it actually operated/performed. I like the idea of being able to easily and quickly retune, and with 6 user programmable tunings on top of all the preprogrammed. I spent my early years as a student tuning a guitar with just a 440 fork because my instructor demanded it. And of course now a chromatic. I know how to tune but am more interested in playing than retuning. I will happily concede the mundane task of retuning to a robot.
So cool. One of the reasons I don't experiment with other tunings is because it's such a pain in the ass. This would really move my guitar journey along. I will get this on an SG.
As someone who constantly changes tunings, this is very practical.
I had no idea this existed. What a time saver. One strum and you're done! On stage or about to record a take, very useful.
Cheers for the demo :)
ahh can you imagine how amazing this technology would be on violins and pianos!!! Would be extremely difficult to make I'm sure, but life would be so much easier.
and so many pianotuners would be homeless...
Note now, that you CAN retrofit this onto guitars, any guitars. I have a set on my 1986 Fender Contemporary Stratocaster (version C1), and on my 2000 Taylor 414 (version H). They're great.
I love how people have a problem with these. People will bitch about anything!
I want it to tune everything in E Sharp.
And if it calls E Sharp anything else, that is unacceptable.
you can actually buy the system at guitar center for pretty much any guitar brand so you can actually retrofit it. just make sure that it is for your specific model before buying.
I tried one in the store for a few minutes and it kept tuning to a perfect Open G. I think I'll reserve judgement on the Min-eTune system until I learn how to use it. You need the manual which has a chart listing the three banks of six tunings each. For example: When the "A" LED is RED (in tuning selection mode) that denotes DADGAD tuning. If Min-eTune can consistently re-tune a guitar within 30 seconds then I think it's worth using. Re-stringing also requires a coin or screwdriver to tighten and lock the string down on the peg. If the battery dies can you tune it manually? The Robot Guitarist may soon be a reality and we'll all be replaced.
+fretkillrlives you can tune nanually if the system is switched off - ratio 1:40
They do retail these for retrofitting now, in case anyone is interested. TronicalTune, the company that makes them for Gibson sells them on their website for a good range of guitar models.
Put one on a 2012 les paul studio....love it. Couldn't get it quite in perfect tune, compared against the expensive studio strobe tuner, but then I actually bothered to read the manual. Slightly adjusted the sensitivity, and since then the tunings are spot on. The beauty is having the ability to quickly change tunings live without standing on stage and fumbling around. Not usually a big fan of these "innovations" but this one is a keeper. I predict you will be seeing these on many other high end guitars (then cheaper models as prices go down on the units) such as Fender, PRS, etc.
I have 2 ibanez guitars with automatic tuners put on them. they work great. it's optional now on whatever guitar you want to put them on.
Looks very handy to me, playing in a cover rock band using at least 3 different tunings throughout the sets. Saves time it seems and even nice to control your regular tuning after a couple songs. Nothing to do with knowing how to tune your guitar but more ease of time and reduce the tuning during playing a whole night. (especially between an open G and a drop D tuning. where I currently am using different guitars for)
I agree. If they start fitting these in every guitar, people won't use their ears any longer at all. Nowadays so many people rely on tabs and need tuner to tune their guitar. There's nothing bad with either tabs or guitar tuners but if you can't play or tune by ear, that's a problem.
When used properly, I think it's a good thing. And by using properly I mean if you are playing a gig, you don't need to worry about being out of tune. But selling these to beginners is pretty "dangerous".
yup!
Good, detailed review. I was in the market for a les paul, and this very clearly demonstrated how much quicker, easier and quieter this technology has beco e since 2008, as well as being less invasive to the instrument. Thanks!
I'd much rather rely on locking tuners, a great tuner, and a quick hand than this. Those three things have served me well in the past and still do to this day. That being said, this thing saved my ass on stage twice! I had to tune to e flat and open G and had to almost immediately each time. So I'll definitely give it that. I'd recommend this for those kinds of situations. Also, I have a buddy who was on stage (playing in standard) and his high E AND B string broke back to back...crazy shit. He grabbed a Les Paul that belonged to the other guitar player in his band, And got to E standard from D standard in the blink of an eye. So if tuning on the fly (manually) is a scary thought for you, TOTALLY go for this. Like Captain and Chappers said and proved, it works. Don't let this be an opportunity for you to become lazy though, Always tune your guitar or guitars by yourself as much as possible, And train your ear. You'll thank yourself in the long run.
The thing that is missing is a wireless foot controller for it. Say you want to change tunings during a live set. you just hit a button with your foot, a small screen or led informs you that youre all set. You could even do it amids a song
this is insanely innovative and reliable. people who hate on it are just little cry babies. I can tune guitar just fine, but I play many different things, in many different tunings, and tuning can be ANNOYING. I can't wait to get one.
Imagine if it could tune all the strings instantly with one strum! The would be uber cool.
2021, I guess everyone has these on their Guitars now? I can see the point in some situations, but tbh, if using open G, I tend to keep a Guitar in that tuning, and drop D is no big deal to change, clever though!
Ok I was against this at first, but the fact you can set your own tuning is fucking kick ass and a major plus for playing live shows and not have to alternate tuning for 2 minutes with a crowd waiting on you.
min-e tunes can be bought aftermarket from the actual manufacturer "tronical" avaliable for les paul and strat style guitars.
you can retrofit a guitar with the "Min-Etune" purchase one from Tronical and install it. I've done it.
+Jared Poole and the new Plus version is much faster....
I think this would be really useful for tuning in between songs. Mute the guitar, turn it on, strum, done. Cool idea. Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.
Noticed some comments like if you're just playing at home to your cat etc, you don't need this, that's exactly why I like this. Im still learning but even when I do learn to play I'll just be playing to myself, or next doors dog, I can't be arsed wasting time tuning in so doing it quick with this would be great.
I have this same guitar with the min-e-tune and I love it. But beware, if you want to use it live on stage and you need to switch between tunings, you have to be wary of who you are playing with. If your bassist, or the other guitarist can't stop noodling between songs, you are not going to get it to tune properly.
The noise that they create will cause your guitar to vibrate just enough to throw it off and it will start to cry.
I think the only proper use for something like this would be a musician who only has one guitar to use at a performance and needs multiple tunings.
Works great until you try to change strings. Sometimes the gears strip during wind up. My SG is still in the shop getting repaired. Can't wait to get it back though.
But I know people who would like to play by ear but they just can't because somebody has always tuned their guitar for them and they have only learned everything with tabs. As I said, these tuners are handy if you want to change your tuning fast and you don't need to worry about being out of tune when you are performing on stage. But many times beginners want to choose the easy way to do things that many times can harm their progress later. Using your ears is important because music is sound.
Quick, Easy, and Very Useful.
Playing an instrument is about playing music and not about playing random fingerings, and I think the problem with guitar is that it's too "visual" instrument - people rely on scale shapes and tabs rather than sounds. You need to be able to listen to how your playing sounds like. And tuning by ear is one of the first thing people should learn when they start playing the guitar.
BTW, quality is first class. At first I found myself babying it. I soon realized this is a very robust mechanism.
I'm with you 100% on this one Craig, it is going to do to guitar playing what auto-tune has done to vocalists. I see so many kids these days that have no idea how to tune by ear (admittedly when i'm really tired I'm one of them). Also, for a fraction of the cost of a new gibson with min-etuners you can buy a couple of good quality epi's that you can dedicate to your own choice of tuning.
A local store had these new guitars on sale about half price. I tried it. It was out of tune, so I let it tune itself, hit low 'E' and it adjusted the 'B' string too, this occurred with other strings too, went through the strings twice, shut the tuner off ....played it, bent strings and it went out of tune (you have to tune up). I started it again, stretched strings as I went double checking, it would tune too high and back up so when you bend you're out of tune again.....realized what a pain it was and I could tune/change tunings faster and more accurately/stable with a regular tuner. The salesman asked me what I thought with a grin on his face, I said "you can keep it" and I explained, he laughed and said "that's why we're blowing them out half price." One's they sold came back and they put regular tuners on them. Their head office/warehouse are now changing some of them over before sending them to their stores. There were other issues but I'm not writing a book on it, one was this particular guitar sounded like crap on the neck pick up. Of course Anderton's is gonna try and sell it. Buy one if you want, if you like it whatever LOL, you're choice and $$. I'll pass.
just installed this in my epiphone lp, works great. i highly recommend it, its called the tronical tune btw.
What is it with some people? All the negative comments whilst completely missing the point! I play in a band with a set that requires me to use 4 to 5 different tunings for every gig and that entails having the minimum of 3 (usually 4 ) guitars to hand each time we play. Granted I can probably go from standard tuning to open G or double dropped D and back again in the same kind of time this unit takes but certainly not open E or tuned down a full tone. To avoid too many guitar changes we tend to put all our open E songs together and likewise all our open G songs and so on and that gets boring. Equipped with this system it takes all the hassle and worry away and lets me get on with it. Whats the problem with that?
WITCHCRAFT! ITS WITCHCRAFT. TUNER DONT MOVE BY THEMSELVES!
Yeah, I understand, but IMO guitar is about playing music and if you play music, you also need to think "in music" (ie hear if what you play sounds right or wrong). If you can't tell if what you play sounds good, you really can't improve. Music is about sound and I think people want to play the guitar because they like its sound. But yeah, I don't know if everybody thinks like I do. But music is about sound and with guitar you play music. So guitar is about sound. :)
They should make a six in line version and sell it as a stand alone product. I might wanna put this bad boy on my alexi laiho signature.
Tronical do offer six in line, lefty too
Tronical offers Six in line.
Pee Jay in fact the min e tune is from tronical if you look closely
surely your Alexi has a floyd ? this wouldnt work with that since you need to lock the nut
Sadly, it can't be sold as a stand alone product. The guitar has to have wire running down through the inside of the neck and connect to the internal wiring of the guitar itself. So while it would be VERY cool to be able to buy, slap onto a guitar, and start using it straight away, it can't do that for a while.
i bought a futura this week, and since i'm in a band that gigs alot, i cover a lot of songs, and i've always left the stones material out, cos i couldn't get the room to bring another guitar in g tuning, so this allows me to open the sets up to anything not cos i'm lazy when it comes to tuning, cos it creates flow as the night goes on, and face it, a good rock show depends on how well you build your sets..
Howabouthetruth:
Wow...such anger!! Obviously you are unable to grasp the concept of why people, even those who know how to tune a guitar, would want one of these.
If you're just playing to your cat in your parent's basement...yeah, you don't need one. But, for those of us who gig and needed 4 different tunings in one set, this saves a lot of time.
I see your point, but as some one who dose gig and use a number of different tunings I have guitars setup for these (also spent years working as a back line/ guitar tech). No I am not rich but just collected a fair number of the years. Fact is if you are using a hard tail then dropping to a drop D or DADGBD is quick enough. If you use open G (I do on and off) then I have a Telecaster setup for it. Radical tunings from a guitar techs point of view should be setup for a specific guitar to avoid performance issues... But hey every one has their own way of doing things and this is just my opinion. Peace and keep rocking.
Ken H I have to disagree with you; by the time you have fiddled with the device to find the relative tuning you could have retuned the guitar twice. Its just lazy musicianship
Dann Barr Please post a video of you doing that.
stonehartfloydfan can see your point but some are just starting and don't have mutiple guitars, so this is a rather good item for those who cant aford it yet or someone who has very lil time to themselve s to actually waste some of it on tunning rather than playing.
ManiacalLaughter21
fair enough point.
They are also on the gibson midtown 2015 and 2016 model
It's all about practicality.
I've had to use 5 different tunings on a show. I used 3 guitars to make it happen, and even then had to waste time changing tunings.
If I had one of these, I would not need to change guitars or lose time.
Definitely want one.
Very good to see a real demo of this.
One mistake, though, you CAN buy this as a standalone. They have templates on their website for Gibson and Fender headstocks.
It seems that when America fails at something, they call Germany to fix it! (NASA in the 1960s?).
You CAN retro fit as Gibson have used the Tronical Technologies "TronicalTune". You can also get a version for a Fender headstock. Not cheap though.
Does it tune to FAGDAD?
you can create your own "presets" ;)
Jimmy87268 I afraid I will snap my string while autotunning it
Floydandsome I AFRAID TOO !
its like F%ck that XD
I just wondered... when I make a bad custom tuning, lets say make the high e string go up further to maybe a higher B, so the string would snap normally, will it stop before it bursts or will It do my will? I mean this thing cannot, know what gauge you are having on the guitar. Some could handly more string tension than others. Just out of curiosity.
cool stuff as long as it's durable and stays true it's great tool
Great demo guys! Although I have to say, at first glance, the ability to have all these open tunings seems like a good thing, but DISCOVERING an open tuning is an important moment for so many reasons. Besides, anyone who has any real experience with open tunings on electric guitars understands that just because the open strings ring out in tune, it doesn't mean it will play in tune. You have to tune open tunings for the intonation of that particular guitar.
Different open tunings usually function better with differing gauge strings.
I am looking thru old Anderton vids and got a great laugh out of this. The boys are a bit perky in this one.
yes, google "tronical"
thats the company that actually supplies these units to gibson, you can buy them directly from their site
I hear there is this even newer device that makes it so you don't have to even touch the strings or even be in the Same room as the guitar your Not Touching......... Just Incredible
Saw this in the Andertons foyer area a while back. Also saw Bea standing next to the TV.
I think this is really cool. I would have preferred to hear it plugged in. I did feel Cap-blocked on hearing Chappers shred a little.
BTW, I bought mine off reverb.com for $100, it fit perfectly on my 2012 les paul studio, took less than an hour to completely install and re-string.
Retrofitted Gibson LPJ and a Taylor 214ce 6 months ago and would never go back to regular tuning. Peace of mind on stage all night. No change in guitars needed. Great buy directly from Tronical in German.
If i remember right, Gibson had made 'robot' guitar around 2006 or 2007 i guess... same principle.... Just that the Tuner was on the tone/volume controls.
you can tune to open g in 20 seconds anyway using a clip on tuner, its only 3 strings u have to tune, and its a lot less fiddly than accessing a menu on a tiny device on the end of yr guitar.
SOOOO helpful especially hen the drummers are like 'No I will not stop hitting the crash!!!'
I know I don't need this, but it just seems so fucking epic....
Was a neat idea at first, then it’s a pain, battery dies you have to charge it, dead till you get that done, then it’s like a pain changing strings, the the need of calibration. after a few years of dealing with it, I replaced with locking Grover’s. Now they don’t even offer them from what I’ve seen....enough said.
I think it's cool just to learn different tunings. I'm sure it has a lot that I never thought to try. Sure I don't need it for E standard or drop d. I think it's cool to try different tunings though. Idk if it's worth the money though.
This is nice but there's more to tuning the guitar than what is shown here. How quickly it it will fuck up intonation of the guitar when it has some weird tuning?
Thanks for the informative video! Glad someone did a real life test of this!
I am an amateur guitar player and I don't seem to have any problems tuning my guitar. I know several professional guitar players and they all think this is a joke. They all agree that if you see someone on tour using these, they are getting paid to use them. Otherwise, they wouldn't use them.
a1scooter1 and that's simply not the case. IF you play in 1 tuning and only 1 tuning... No you really don't need it.
IF you play multiple tunings and have guitars setup in multiple tunings... Then yes it not only becomes extremly useful but saves money. For example a friend of mine plays Live in bars, hotels and weddings. Really inconvenient to bring multiple guitars, really incontinent to stop playing for a few minutes and change from E Std to Drop C...back to open G then back to Std E depending on what music people want to hear.
And you sir just answered my complaint... thanks!
I was going to say what a load, but a retro fit kit would help get people involved with the hardware.
Personally, I think it's neat and gigging with a tuner like that would be nice. Still, I would prefer a regular headstock for a LP Studio etc. LP's not that cheap...
How many tunings before the motor brushes wear out & when a kid puts acoustic strings on the tuners because he didn't know? What would happen then...
I don't need it, but by gum, I could use it. I use 4-5 different tunings. So once I get my Futura, I can't wait to play around with it.
Would switching between tunings drastically not muck up the tension of the neck? Also, if you go from standard E to drop C, the surely you'd want different gague strings to support the different tunings? I think the point about it being good for people who aren't good at tuning isn't great because if they get this, they won't learn and ill be stuck when they actually have to do it on a traditional guitar.
Apart from that I think it's an awesome concept and works really well.
You guys forgot to list the hd 6x, the coolest guitar by far
rob and lee are like the worlds BEST duo
I do have a Gibson Les Paul Junior 2015 and I'm not really fan of Gforce, I already wanna switch to usual system.
It's actually available by itself,not sold by Gibson but Tronical, the brand that builds it for Gibson ! I found them on Thomann but UA-cam won't let me put the URL link here...
I think the best innovation Gibson did for the Les Paul was grinding down the neck heel and making the axcess neck. I can't see the tuner being the one last thing to buy a Gibson. Just my 2 cents.
Great idea. However I agree. In that the traditional way of tuning to preferable to me
I wouldn't really care for this unless it was on a Floyd rose. It would make set up a breeze. And even just changing tunings, between changing the spring tension and gettin it flush with the body, this could save so much time
when you like to play songs true to the way they were recorded this thing is a god send. It gets you to the right tuning fast! when you have three or for different tunings, that makes it a pain in the ass. Like I said, I like to play music true to its form, but thats just me. A lot of guys just like to wing it, and i think thats BS!
Im Partially deaf and struggle to manually tune. this will change my guitar playing life just as soon as i can afford to buy a new Gibson :)
Probably. At the end of the video when he said you HAVE to buy a new Gibson that comes with it, that's actually false. If you visit the tronical components website you can buy the tuning system for pretty much any model Gibson or Fender.
Best gadget ever!!
I wish that the tuner be usefull to put into any guitar.
I don’t see why people have so much hate for these, I’m not planning on getting one but I don’t think it’s so horrible
Not for me but if you want it get it. When it tuned to standard it didn't properly flatten the G to sweeten the Emajor to my ear.
I can see this being used on backup guitars, just need one that can quickly be tuned to what you need
So with all these options and models they're available on, does it come on any left handed guitars?
Cool demo. Too bad for me that ETune does not work on my Rickenbacker 330..
