The only possible good scenario would be a guitar part for a composition that had multiple tunings. And I assuming in all of what follows that this thing works faster than most humans can tune.
So, the guitar player would, let's imagine, start off in one tuning and then lay back for a few seconds during another part while the guitar automatically assumes the other tuning and then the guitarist would start playing in the new tuning for a time, and so on and so forth.
This new self-tuning Gibson cannot do that. All I assume it does is tune a guitar to standard. And the mechanism will not even be able to accomplish that feat all that well if the guitar isn't strung well in the first place.
Basically, I bet this thing doesn't even tune all that great anyway. But hey, it'll be an improvement for people who never get around to tuning because they never learned, don't have a tuner, or for whatever reason. I've known a few lame people before who just bought a guitar and never learned anything of substance about stringing, tuning, or playing it.
