G Force Final Deduction

Hey Gospel Guitars here and after about two months of deliberation on this Christmas present I have determined that I've made a few changes and the next change even though I've been doing a video series on the Gibson Tronical tuning system found on this guitar it's coming off because it's driving me crazy. If you just tuned it and moved along you'd probably be all right but I just sat here and told this thing to tune itself four times in a row and it kept changing things four times in a row. Even though it sounds like you know it's in tune it's like it doesn't trust itself so it's got to loosen and retighten to get to the same note it was just at. Every time I want to do something or make a new video on it I have to take a half an hour to research how something's done with the thing. That's gotten old now so when it comes to doing a double drop D tuning or some of the common tunings I have that stuff in my head. I don't have to sit here and try to remember which button goes where to what letter to get to a double drop D. I can just tune it turn a tuner so I can see where they're coming from with the concept but the practicality isn't there for me and I'm not even somebody who sits here and plays all day and does a whole bunch of recordings and things but when I want to play I want to pick it up and I just want it to work and I don't think it's working for me so I don't want to make any more videos on it. I don't want to put any more time looking at the 18 charts that tell you how to use the thing. For some people this is the thing. They don't mind that. Now when it comes to guitar processors I'm notorious for guitar processors. I've had I still use an old Boss GX700 that is from 1996. I've had the Digitech 2101s. Menus do not scare me. I used to be a computer programmer anyway so menus and setting parameters and all that kind of stuff doesn't bother me any but other people can't help. They just know give me a stomp box on the floor on pop I'm done you know and I like both worlds when it comes to pedals when it comes to processors but why are we making tuning so hard? I just I gave it a fair shake two months. I seen a guy on a video the other day and he was talking about how every time he tuned it it would just retune itself and I had to try that myself and this is a 2017 guitar with the most current version of the tronical system on it and it still seems just finicky. I wouldn't call it really gimmicky. The concepts are there but they're just not real practical. There's just too much stuff to have to run to a manual for and especially if you're doing a live show you can't be sitting here going oh gee I hit the wrong button you know I should be in an E flat and I'm in a B sharp or something it is yeah something weird so it's going to be coming off and I'm going to of course do a video of you know really quick video because there's so many out there but I'm going to pull this off and I'm going to I think I'm going to go with Gato locking tuners because they have a very short tuning peg on them and I like that. The brake angle over the nut is very sharp on it on the last ball so it'd be interesting to see if the brake angle really causes binding in the nut but this is a titanium piece here so we'll find out but I've never used Gato locking tuners. I've always been a Grover guy but I thought I would try out the Gatos or Gotos or however you want to pronounce it. So that's it. I've changed a lot on this guitar. I still have the original pickups. It still does have the motherboard in there although I did take out the chrome pick up ring covers and I did swap out the chrome knobs and the tuning system is going to go but overall this is a very good guitar for a thousand bucks. You can do some cosmetic things to make it normal and you shouldn't have to take the guitar apart to make it work right but Jerry's still out on the electronics. These are 61 rhythm and treble pickups. I really like the sound on the neck. The humbucker in the treble is kind of bright. So that's about all I got right now. I'll see you later when I go to swap out the tuners and you have a good day and enjoy. If this is your thing then great but it's not mine so that's my determination after two months just about playing it. So thanks for watching. Thumbs up, like, subscribe. More stuff coming out this year. Thanks for watching.
