Well, I guess this was bound to have been invented sooner or later. I predict that next model will do the bridge adjustment automatically, too, and maybe an auto truss rod tweak.
I'm not sure whether I love or hate it, but it's very interesting
Thanks.

Yeah, I had that idea a few years ago too. Mine was a little different than the gybson model(the motors would be inside the body of the guitar so the head stock wouldn't be to heavy) and it would have some other things that the gybson doesn't. I was worried about size and accuracy and never got around to it. Oh well..

Moving the motors to the guitarbody would allow to run the system with a single controller and eliminate the serial communication line between body and headstock. I wonder if this gibson has got a separate channel for it , or if the find a lumen inside the trussrod for a thin cable. Have you ever tried to use a floyd rose mechanics and to motorize its intonation screws?

All this was just ideas. I haven't done any real work on it or even any thorough analysis. I have other ideas for improving a guitar too and one day I'm hoping to build a prototype that incorporates all them but until then...
About the Robot Guitar itself, it seems like it might be pretty good. It has an accuracy of 0.1 cent supposedly which is pretty ridiculuous considering you have to do very little work to get that. (not sure what they are charing for it though)
About automatiting the intonation, you could do it pretty easily assuming you had motor with enough torque.
I think the problem with all that is mainly miniturization. You gotta fit it in the guitar and it can't be intrusive. A lot of guitarists are pretty anal about "vintage".
