Games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band might be planting the seeds for a whole new generation of musicians…and venerable guitar maker Gibson wants to be out there with technology that will appeal to the digital generation. To that end, the company has just introduced Dark Fire, a second-generation of its Robot Guitar product line—introduced a year ago and updated last April—that features a motorized tuner setup that can both tune the guitar to pitch, but also switch between tunings one the fly, letting players quickly move from standard tuning to things like Drop D and DADGAD without (ahem) missing a lick.
