The technology is clearly there for self-tuning guitars but there doesn't seem to be a market for them. Even people who want Gibsons seem really reluctant about the Robot. The market is for things that're harking back to the past, vintage specs, the whole 'relic' thing, while ideas like the Robot are moving in the entirely opposite direction. So long as the majority of guitar buyers want guitars that hark back to the 1950s, things like the Robot or companies like Variax will remain, at best, treated with a degree of suspicion.
