We live in pretty amazing times. Ray Kurzweil’s theory of accelerating returns is seemingly confirmed every day. Just think about the time that elapsed between the first Nokia and the iPhone and then the iPhone and the iPhone 6.

Well, the guitarists out there are about to get more excited than all the Apple product launches combined. We don’t know how to break this to you guys and gals, but we now have the technology to make guitars that never go out of tune.

“A guitar with TronicalTune looks the same, feels the same, plays the same and rocks the same – it’s just always in tune,” a statement from TronicalTune reads. “Adjust to other instruments’ imperfect tuning with Reference Tuning and keep that harmony going.”

“Perfect for home, studio and gigging: The internal lithium battery lasts for up to 300 tunings on just one charge. Rock longer with the fast and accurate tuning system, tuning your guitar in about 5 seconds and 2 strums.”

What is TronicalTune? It’s the world’s most advanced self-tuning retrofit guitar system. You affix the TronicalTune unit to your guitar’s headstock and the unit does the rest. And we must say, watching the unit at work is pretty spectacular. The future is here!

Standard tuning to Drop B in seconds.
