A self tuning guitar? Pre-programmed tunings for different cover bands? This sounds cool, but not sure it is needed.

I usually play in one single tune, and I have a double-locking Floyd Rose mechanism. This means I only have to tune the guitar when I change the strings. But changing tunes in such a guitar is really tedious, so every time I played a cover in a different tune, I had to borrow another ax and tune it correspondingly.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/61439DF3-01BB-4F22-9CE2-04008D55463F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
