Gibson ROBOT II Les Paul Studio Limited Edition Metallic Red
The Gibson Robot II Les Paul Studio Limited Edition is an electric guitar that offers all the power, tone, and performance of a traditional Les Paul Studio model, but with the addition of the revolutionary Robot automatic tuning system.
The Tronic self-tuning system is built into a Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar, all the elements that have made the Les Paul one of the most successful electric guitars of all time are retained. To tune itself, the Robot Guitar uses an onboard central processing unit (CPU) that analyses the pitch of each string as detected by the Tune-Control bridge. Tuning information from the CPU is then relayed to the motorised machine heads that efficiently adjust each string to the correct pitch.
You can activate the Gibson Les Paul Robot II Guitar with the "Push-Pull" Master Control Knob (MCK) that also functions as a tone control in the down position and is pulled up to activate the auto-tuning system. In addition to the standard (A-440Hz) tuning, six commonly used tunings are selectable from the MCK whilst users can also program their own custom tunings as well as being able to set the guitar's intonation.
The Robot II Les Paul Studio Ltd. has a chambered Mahogany body with a Maple top and nitrocellulose finish.

A Gibson 490R humbucker with Alnico II magnets in the neck position and 498T humbucker with Alnico V magnets in the bridge position provide that "Patent Applied For" sound.
