What do you mean were?! I just ate a chocolate Space Food Stick about half an hour ago, they're addictive little buggers and apparently quite popular in Australia.

I don't think the point of this guitar is so that people who find it hard to tune a guitar perfectly can play it, thats what electronic tuners are for. The really great thing about this guitar is to be able to switch between tunings very fast in a live setting. To switch from an open tuning such as DADGAD back to standard tuning can be done by the touch of a button.

Also the guitar helps you set up the intonation by telling you how many quarter turn adjustments are needed for each string at the bridge.

Having said all that, its a lot of money for something that is basically a helper but looks so nasty. I think the money would be better invested in a Les Paul without the gadgetry!

Check out Composite Acoustics, they do a much nicer looking carbon fiber guitar!
