I just spotted this. Finally I can upgrade my 1st run robot (no thanks to Gibson). I also think, that I'll put Bigsby there also, because I can get rid of the old tailpiece. I'm sure I'm also putting this system to my Stratocaster. Can't wait when this hit the stores...

I have find out that this automatic tuning makes me play more and experiment more. Before automatic tuning I played only with the standard tuning and no clue about the other tunings.

Will this system also do intonation like my Robot Les Paul?

I can't wait to try both the Les Paul and Stratocaster versions!

Any updates on the Tronical Tune?.....it's been a weird year for guitar technology fans.  At NAMM/Musikmesse the following exciting new developments were announced and shown: Tronical Tune, two Epiphone Robot acoustic guitars, Fishman Triple Play, Peavey AT-200 and Parker AutoTune MaxxFly.

Despite lots of hype, to date none of them has been made available for sale.  It is a longstanding industry joke that NAMM stands for Not Available Till Mid May, but this is getting ridiculous.  It's almost time for the next NAMM show in January, and still no product.  It's starting to smack of vapor ware....

Even more alarming is the fact that the few online stores who had listed the Epiphone Robot acoustics, now show them as "no longer available", which does not bode well.  Usually this sort of thing means that the product has either been discontinued or will not be released.

It's especially frustrating to those of us who have been waiting for these products to be released so we can try them and decide whether they are better offerings than the current crop of Roland VG/GR & Line6 JTV Variax products.

As it stands now, if you are interested in alternate tunings (both real & modeled), guitar modeling and/or synth sounds, Roland and Line6 are the only game in town.

I hope to be proven wrong...

Interesting. You can download a manual, but you cannot buy:

Real retrofit kit comming soon!

Unless I am reading the website wrong, this doesn't seem to be a retrofit, just an option on certain Gibson guitars.  It would be hugely disappointing to me to have waited close to a year for the Tronical Tune to come out, only to find out that it's only available on a Gibson guitar.

Also, what happened to the Epiphone Robot acoustic models that were shown at Musikmesse, pictured on various websites for pre-order, and now listed as"no longer available"?

@oddguitar

...expect the first retrofit kits to be available around Q2 of 2013...

Thanks, Tronical for the information. (I don't need another guitar, just a tuning system)  ::)

Great to see this idea finally coming to fruition. Congratulations to Tronical.

Gibson seems to be offering the same as an upgrade for $200.

The 18 weeks delivery time is an issue of course. I can't order anything with that much of a lead time. Will wait for these to become readily available and then pick up a Strat version.
