Favorite thing about the Robot Guitar = in order to turn the tuners manually you have to disengage the motor. Let's say you absentmindedly or drunkenly try to tune it manually without disconnecting the motor, guess what happens?
YOU FUCKING BREAK THE MOTOR - seriously, it's fragile as fuck and even and accidental bump can destroy the system. Also, what they don't show you is that the assembly is like 4 times the size of a standard tuner and looks extremely awkward.
Also, before the robot guitar there was a hexaphonic Gibson Les Paul Digital $$$$ thing that might do midi, but no-one ever bought one so I can't find out anything about it. It uses an ETHERNET CABLE!?!?! to connect to a break-out box from which it plumbs new depths of awkwardness and unusability.

it's proper wank.
Quite pointless. With the GI-20 I've got you can assign a different patch to each string, so you might have some drums on a couple, a haunting 'Enigma' style monks choir on another, a waterfall on the forth and oooh, something spaceage on the last two. This takes forever to set-up, and to my dismay a factory reset to properly remove.
how about the moog guitar, the moog rep is bringing it here to work to show it off today, i'm kind of excited to play it, even though it looks like utter shit and i'm expecting to to be gay a fuck.
Re the moog guitar, personally I reckon they gave that to Lou because the poor bugger's gone senile and they knew he'd go OMG! You could put the morning paper in his hand and he'd go OMG!
But yeah - those pickups on the moog are interesting. Let me know when you've got a spare $28000 to buy one.
Ah yes the moog guitar. I watched all the youtube bumf on that a few weeks ago so shoulda remembered it. The styling is really quite bad, and it sonds awful. Also it has no midis, only anolog sinths and is therefore a seventies throwback.

It doesn't have a pinout because the VG Strat is a modeling guitar like the Line 6 Variax. I'm guessing VG means "Virtual Guitar" or some gayskank shit like that.
