- u r right... anyway... i'm not gibson or fender fan... i prefeer a luthier guitar :D
- how sad of a video lol
- Well, since Fender is Fender, Gibson goal have been kill them, but, with this foolish gadget they pretend to kill the NUMBER ONE guitar in the Fucking Universe? please Gibson guys, you allways are in second place, check the alfabet: a, b c, d, e, Fender and Gibson, it's just your Karma, to be the second act, sorry guys.
- I looked up "electric guitar" in the dictionary, and there was a picture of a Les Paul. It is the definitive electric guitar. Strats are great too, but seriously.
- I would've been like "NOOOOO!!!" for a couple minutes, then say "Oh well, at least the other guitar is better".
- that mean Gibson eliminate Fender??? i like fenders and gibsion guitars xD robot guitar looks very nice but this must be expensive xD
- Continuing, the Robot has limited tunings aswell. Have you ever played a live gig? Do you understand the quicker you can change tuning and not have to wait on the guitar/oneself, the better. Hence the reason I chose the VG (also the alternate pickup sounds). Listen the posts before got out of hand because you insulted me first. Let's just agree to disagree on this topic, and now we can "rap it up" ok?
- OK. First, you didn't even let me get my opportunity to reply, so you can't "rap things up." If you want to leave because you're admitting defeat, by all means go ahead. And calling me a "fanboy"? How old are you? 12? I already said I tried both instore, and was provided help on how to change tunings by the staff working there. The Robot Guitar is nothing more than a slightly more fancy Les Paul, I personally would use that money to buy a Custom and modify it myself.
- This is getting sad so I'm gonna wrap up my side and be done with it.
You may have been impressed by the quickness of the VG Strat's *limited* alternate tunings, and I've myself conceded that the simulated effects are nice perks, but in the end if you don't take time to do anything, you never get the best value. If you happenned to do more research that, say, just holding two guitars, you'd know a whole lot about their capabilities. Your inability to concede ANYTHING shows your immaturity, dude
- Right, so naturally you're a fanboy just because you own it. I understand. No matter how much you like the VG strat's alternate *artificial* tunings at the twist of a knob, your questioning of the Robot's tuning mechanism is totally uncalled for. Call it unusable, but you're just impatient if you don't want to learn to program a guitar that tunes itself to common settings, customizable tunings, allows you to manually tune ANY TIME, contrary to what you believe, and also winds fresh strings too.
- Oh yeah ... talking about practicality ... you need to read the Robot Gay-tars instruction manual inside out (all 1 million pages)just to get alternate tunings. With the VG, a baby could figure how to change tunings. And again for you who is retarded ... it also has alternate PICKUP SOUNDS. Too good a technology for a Gay-bson.
I bet you don't even have a Robot. I own a Sunburst VG. I also compared it with the Robot when I played them instore. The Fender VG Strat kills the Gay-son Robot Gay-tar
- So if I'm the thick, defensive type you must be the retarted, blind type. In case you couldn't read my reply above ... I'll reiterate (whoops too big a word for you, it means restate what I said ... still too much for you?).
KEEP FRESH BATTERIES = NO POWER FAILURES. And if by some magical force the battery compartment gets ripped off the whole guitar, you can still tune with your hands (it still plays retard). Tuning with your hands is probably still quicker than waiting for the Robot Gay-bson.
- So you're the defensive type? My argument probably won't get through your head, then.
Based on practicality, If you tune the Robot using the onboard tuning device, it tunes for you, and stays there. The strings are actually at tension at that tuning. If the Robot loses power, you're still at your selected tuning.
The Strat's tuning device is artificial, so if you're in one of the onboard tuning choices and the power goes out, you're out of luck, especially in the middle of a performance.
- Hmmm ... I wonder how you can solve that problem ... oh yeah! Keep fresh batteries. Wow that was so hard to think of. Besides, once the battery dies (which will only happen to idiots), you still have a normal Standard Strat, and can still tune it as per normally.
The Robot is extremely slow compared to the VG Strat, and it does not have the versatility of alternate pickup sounds either. Plus it's definitely not "user friendly" (lets read a manual for 10 years). So I wonder what is better ...
- Hey anths1717, ever notice that if the VG strat's batteries die, so does your alternate tuning? All the VG Strat is is an elaborate Roland amp verged with a Strat. The Gibson robot doesn't have all the synthesizing effects, but there's nothing artificial about the tuning function.
The fact that you can also put preset tunings into the Robot and have it consistenly and efficiently revert back and forth is just a testament to the fact that the Robot is NOT a gimmmick.
- I'd love to see them make vids attacking each others companies and guitars. That's all people really care about! They want to know that their guitar is so awesome it kills someone else's guitar.
- Fender Stratocaster's have had a bigger influence on Rock and Guitar's and they have a more Natural Sound plus they just plain kick ass
- Fuck Yea!
- I find the tribal rivalry hilarious.
Gibson and Fender are good, but get a PRS Santana MD.
- i love how gibson dont even care that they are blaitently comparing their product to fender. its rare to see that in adverts now-adays.
- It's sad what Gibson has to resort to.
Besides, the Fender VG Strat automatically changes tuning in 2 secs by a flick of the switch. For a robot guitar you gotta sit there waiting for it to change ... BORING!
Fender > Gibson
*Runs from comments section as Gibson fanboys close in*
- fender are for the people cant pay a gibson
- i hope that gibson make more of this guitars
- that guy...sounds like he's not even good enough for a crappy guitar lol
- Hmmm, gay much
