I’m in love with the Dark Fire guitar from Gibson. It auto tunes to any preset tuning in under a second. That alone is enough to push it to drool-worthy status. It’s also optimized for the world of digital recording. The price is a bit hefty, but I wonder if this signals a new era in music technology. Perhaps the last few die hards have finally let go of the mystique of analog. The economy may be on life support, but this is proof that there are still some folks out there creating some pretty cool stuff. If only we could just trade the bankers and auto execs for more of them.
