Gibson’s range of robotic guitars just got larger. By one. The axe maker extraordinaire has just ripped the covers off the scarily-named Dark Fire, a new Les Paul with the brain of an android…
Well, sort of. Basically the Dark Fire can tune itself, just like the original robot guitar. It does so by using sensors in the head that detect when it’s in key and adjust the strings automatically. The technology has been improved though, and the guitar can now tune in less than a second, while the battery life has been upped to handle as many as 500 tunings on a charge.
The guitar also boasts standard line outs alongside FireWire and headphone sockes, plus bundled music software so you can fiddle around with your Malmsteen-esque noodlings on your PC later.
