Minor correction @deathcow: min-etune is not on Gibsons top end (Les Paul customs and so on), but on it's mid range guitars.

Primarily because guitarists paying a lot of money for a guitar are wary of anything that interferes with it.

Personally, I don't really have a problem with it in principle. I'm glad it simply winds the machine heads.

I like that it can learn different tunings (I play a lot in Eb and DADGAD).

I guess it would be useful if you wanted to play a set with songs in different tunings on the one guitar.

Yeah, they have models that fit most popular guitars, including pretty much any Gibson or Fender.

Made to retrofit Fender style headstocks-Excellent. $300 bucks U.S. - Wayyy cheaper than that self-tuning Gibson.

HArrrAGGHH!! Or a prequel to pulling a Gibson!

Time for my yearly reading of Neuromancer by William Gibson. Resist!

You can expect very quickly a great deal of the near-future visions of Gibson, especially the ever-present and high-tech, private security industry becoming ginormous.

In about 10 years bio-computer implants I expect, will be the craze similar to piercings and tats

I pray for the electromagnetic destruction of all satellites in medium earth orbit or an ultra-massive coronal event focused directly at Earth by 2015.

Every time someone mentions Google Glass all I can think about is William Gibson's novel "Virtual Light"

So soon USA will become a cult nation? Can't wait.


Trips me out that it took someone besides the submitter and 2 days to add this to the cult channel. Mormonism is about as glaring an example of a cult as any of them. Others you may have heard of....
Scientology
Jehovah's Witnesses
Church Universal and Triumphant
Moonies
Raëlism
Christian Scientists
Unification Church...and a shitpot full of others including some fringe militant polygamists with their heads up to their red necks up each other's asses.
It's a brave new world, William Gibson fans get ready because he pretty much nailed with every novel possible scenarios for soon-to-be Planet E, and whack religions factor way in.
Personally, I'd love to have al...er, some of you, members of my church someday

A good surprise in the morning.
Thanks, eric!

While it was a neat trick, these days I just find it tacky.
Can anyone honestly say that this is a better looking guitar than the wondrous bow-your-heads omg-its-full-of-stars angelic-chorus beauty of this?
Also, bolt-on necks suck.


I think that question might be just a tiny bit loaded.

When that piece of shit, Mel Gibson, finally kills himself to put a silence to his tortured soul, the world will be a much more peaceful place.

The plot thickens. Frankly, I was wondering how Mel Gibson was allowed not only to participate, but to lead off after the horrible things he's become famous for lately.
Could this be early 2000s, like soon after 9/11 when "Homeland Security" was starting? I don't know of anything that Clinton did that would piss off actors (dems) so much they'd put something like this together. Surely it wasn't just educational?
Either way, I'm glad they did because I know for sure I'd never been exposed to the entire document before. Worth having heard. Nicely done, except for the bit about the Natives.>> ^shuac:

"Either way, what struck me in hearing it this time is how much of it is a reaction to exactly the same behavior the US is showing today. Hilarious."
I'm guessing that's why this was done.
Not sure what Graham Greene was doing there. Was a Canadian the only native person they could find?

But I can tell by the faces that this was made in the 90s.



No, not the early 2000s. Look at Michael Douglas's neck. Look how lean Kevin Spacey's face is.

Hey, some guys know who played 2nd base for the Pirates in 1967 and the like. I know movies. This was made in the mid-to-late 90s.
