The Robot invasion continues.
The Gibson Robot Flying V Ltd. is an electric guitar that
offers all the power, tone, and performance of a traditional Flying V Ltd. model, with the addition of the revolutionary Robot
automatic tuning system.
Gibson's Robot Guitar, the world's first guitar with robotic tuning technology is now available
as a Flying V. You don't have to tune up your car every time you drive it. Now you don't have to tune up your guitar every
time you play it. The Robot Guitar does it for you. Just plug it in, dial in the tuning, strum the strings, and play.
The
self-tuning system is built into a gorgeous Gibson Flying V guitar without changing its looks. All the sound and playability
that have made the Flying V one of the most successful electric guitars of all time are retained. To tune itself, the Robot
II Guitar uses an onboard central processing unit (CPU) that analyzes the pitch of each string as detected by the Tune-Control
bridge. Tuning information from the CPU is relayed to the motorized tuning machines that efficiently adjust each string to
the correct pitch with a distinctive whirring sound that lets you know Robot Guitar is on the job.
You activate the
Gibson Robot Flying V with the Master Control Knob (MCK) that functions as a tone control in the down position and is pulled
up to activate the tuning system. In addition to standard (A-440Hz) tuning, six commonly used tunings are selectable from
the MCK. Users can also program their own custom tunings as well as set the guitar's intonation. Now, with the Gibson Robot
Guitar, you'll spend more time playing-in tune. In live performance you can easily change tunings practically soundlessly
on the fly, keeping your show flowing smoothly. There's no longer any need to haul several instruments to the gig to cover
various tunings; The Robot does it all for you!
The Robot Flying V Ltd. has a mahogany body with a nitrocellulose finish.
The mahogany neck is hand-shaped into a rounded C-shape profile and is topped with a rosewood fretboard. A Gibson 496R Hot
Ceramic humbucker in the neck position and 500T Super Ceramic humbucker in the bridge position deliver smokin' tone. Four-conductor
wiring allows connection of a push/pull pot for coil-splitting. Wax potting reduces the chances of microphonic feedback. The
performance-safeguarding Neutrik jack secures the cord into the guitar.
