Self-tuning guitar. I would be a victim to this luxury....once perfected. I also would be victim to Self-playing guitar equipped with "GO" and "STOP" buttons. Including such styles as "METAL" "SPANISH RICE" "TAKE ANOTHER HIT JAM" and my favorite, the new addition from the company ZOOM "KANGISH"

Next he did it for a Keith Richards song, same idea. That was what caught my attention. Actually... I started thinking I wanted to write down those alternate tunings, cause there's no way I'm getting a self-tuning guitar.
this point: The thing is you can switch tunings in the middle of a set (or song) in a matter of less than one second. Not just tune back up, but completely alternate tunings.

that's why i like my variax 300, if you buy the seperately sold workbench software, you can download any alternate tunings settings to any of the 60 presets, a pretty handy function... but alas, it doesnt have self tuning...
