I have never been very interested in a Toronado . . . until now.

I hate to be the one to piss in the nachos, but why can't you have regular looking tuners on top and have teh robot part inside the big wooden body thing?

I still wouldn't pay whatever absurd price they want for it. That is way cooler than any of the other robots they've released!

that robot part just makes it more expensive,but otherwise, judging by the looks, far better than those blue bursts etc..

I would like that kind of les paul..that I could tune myself.

yeah, but think of the noise making possibilities of flicking the tuning selection knob around while you're playing! I can't wait until 15 years from now when these things are pawn shop fodder.



also, wassup wit dat bigass stop tailpiece?

if you make it tune while you're playing all you're going to do is make strings break faster.

I did mannsge to play a purple robot SG. The finish felt terrible, carbon-fiber looking pickguard looked terrible. The battery must have been dead because the electronics didnt work. I like the idea but i have yet to find one that actually works and actually feels like a well playing guitar. That TV yellow looks amazing though, i'd rock it, i love me some p90s

First robot I actually saw/held was this model too. Gotta agree with your assessment on it. Terrible feeling and wonky looking instrument... all for the low price of ~$1800 when I saw it, I think

this one was $800, i keep on telling myself "thats not bad for a USA gibson" but i just wouldn't use the features and it looks terrible. I'd have the P90'd sg classic before a robot

MAKE THIS A ROBOT AND HAZE'LL ENDORSE

if you can't tune your own guitar, or figure out a pitch pipe or korg tuner, you should play drums.

Taken from another site,
As my dad once told me, "Don't worry about Marshall or Gibson coming out with things that suck... everything you could ever want from them, they've already put out. Go find it."
