You can check this thing out at,

Gibson has just made one of the most revolutionary technological advances in a guitar ever! Tomorrow, December 7th the new "Robot Guitar" will be rolled out around the world. The above link will let you know which stores they will be found at and there is a strict limit to 10 per store.
In a nut shell this is what it is. A Gibson Les Paul that is outfitted with a device that will cause the guitar to tune itself in seconds. A nob found in the location of the volume and tone nobs will activate the device and not only in the open E standard tuning but in several alternate tunings! Gibson did not release a price at the above link but you can count on it not being cheap!
The lowest priced Les Paul is in the $1,000.00 range. Add to that whatever Gibson is going to charge for the robotics in the tuners and also add that there is a limited run on this first run, and it is going to be up there.
Any of you that have played live knows what it is like at times to keep a good tune on your guitar all the way through a gig. It is constant work. This will tune itself at your command, in seconds. That is just awesome!
