  • I have had a love/hate relationship with the Gibson Dark Fire Robot guitars for over 15 years and I have shared the ongoing saga on my channel. Today I finally rip out the robot tuners on my 2008 Gibson Dark Fire Les Paul.

    It’s doesn’t sound bad for a Washburn…. Whoops wrong video 🤣🤣🤣. You should’ve done another rant yelling “You don’t need all this stuff!” When you ripped out all the old electronics. That guitar sounds great. Does the figure on the maple top look similar to your original Dark Fire?

    im sad you killed the robot, but is okay , i like them stupid,not reliable, and wired, maybe not many robot out there, i think they need to protected , for real ,i hope gibson try it again, like firebird x, just make it simple , just make few good sound pedal in guitar is enough, i know lot of people hate it , i truly believe the idea is good, they should try again, as long keep making those reissue and traditions les paul model , those "purist" gibson fans 100% still buying $25000 gibson les paul, so no worry fck it up again! gibson, be brave gibson ! lets go, next new model firebird 3000 superbot guitar, only one thing, make it not too expensive ,as long as not $25000 ,everything will be fine.
    joke a side, they should really try again, probably try it on Epiphone. not necessary robot tuner,maybe use evertune idea make some clever stuffs.

    I like the Robot guitars, but I'm not a pro who would need rock-solid dependability on stage. As you stated, what a lot of people hated was not having the option for regular tuners in 2015. Josh did an excellent job of resurrecting that guitar! Judging by the amount of Gibsons in those String Swing multi-stands, they're safe for a nitro finish, eh? I have a couple of those racks, but am reluctant to put the Gibby's on them. Love the new space!.

    Wiring, using high quality electronic parts makes a HUGE difference, I just finished rewiring my Revstar, it already had 2 Seymour Duncan’s in it, metal braid wire CTS, Switchcraft, copper shielding tape
    result? At least 3db louder, AND way better as well as quieter

    the pick attack on that piezo is very responsive and aggressive, very cool

    • @TheNeuroticGuitarist
      @TheNeuroticGuitarist  21 минуту назад

      it was dialed in about 80% volume. when you turn the preamp above that it gets almost harsh the attack is so wild, but could be super rad for extra delicate finger picking.

    your guy really is a genius, that piezo fix is something very few people have the tolls and "know how" to do. You are a lucky guy and actually can allow yourself to be neurotic :D

    I didn't have the fancy knob thing but I had the robot tuner with pad thing on the back. It did eventually get really weird, so I took it off and added locking hipshots. I added some lace firespitters and it's still one of my favorite guitars.
