Dude, that's what God invented Abelton Live and a roadie to work it offstage for.
You're right.  On second thought the robot guitar is a very foolish idea then.  :D

I prefer their older stuff.

I'm a little worried about Mr Clines taste though... He calls it "a beautiful toy"...  :o
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

Actually, seen it live is not that bad.
I like that it has no binding on the body while there's on the neck and headstock. Looks cool!

My opinion is that it can be useful for those who play covers all the time, who need different tunings. Otherwise is kind of useless.
