On Christmas, I finally got around to messing with the thing. It was frustrating to say the least. The low E string is a bit finicky, but the rest work ok. The master control knob works, but just doesn&#8217;t really have anything &#8220;worthwhile&#8221; in my opinion. Gibson Robot guitars have a large learning curve, but at least with the Firebird X, it is WORTH learning. The Dark Fire doesn&#8217;t really have any redeeming features in its electronics &#8211; all the settings sound about the same or just not that good to begin with.  All that said&#8230; it IS a comfy guitar and would make a GREAT project to turn into a regular guitar. In fact, Gibson did their own version of that known as the London Fog. Hopefully I can document one of those in the future.   <\/p>\n<p>Overall, it was a cool idea and a good looker&#8230; but needlessly complicated for what it offers the average user. <\/p>\n<p>I  Bought a Gibson &#8220;Robot&#8221; Guitar (Regret) | Dark Fire Les Paul<\/p>\n<p>Affiliate Links are found in this description + comments section &#8211; clicking and purchasing items from partners will help financially support the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u2753Private Help Sessions \u27a1\ufe0f https:\/\/troglysguitarshow.com\/help-appraisals<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcb0New to Reverb?
