hey what's up everybody I'm Eric I'm checking tomorrow I'm here at the PV booth today we're checking out the 8200 this is an auto tuning guitar that features and tarasana tuning we're going to turn over to Michael let him tell you guys about this great new thing and the people at PV how's it going Michael it's great glad to be here at Winter NAMM 2012 we got the 8250 V powered by Antares auto tune you see it looks like a regular guitar it plays like a regular guitar with one exception I'm out of tune not anymore so it's just not this single button right here that's one button oh yeah just push the volume pot down you're perfectly in tune now what if you were like in just say you were tuning which you were like a heavy-metal guy and you want to go to drop D what do you do to get yourself in the drop fee just think about it happens first I'm taking tomorrow it's a auto mind tuning guitar Michael 20 tune it with his mind again now with the mind meld yeah right and all seriousness you just you play the opposite of what you wants you hold down a G flat and drop and back to normal what are some of the other components about this guitar play what kind of niggas and stuff we look at this bad boy well with the antara system you've got modeled pick up so it's modeled after a two humbucking guitar so the guitar operates just like it looks the idea that we want is that you forget about it it plays like what about it's right you know the greatest thing about it is it's perfectly intimated so a D chord here it sounds low same there G and that's a nation like that means you guys spend actually a lot of time actually making the neck play perfect to be able to do this Auto tuning right absolutely but quite honestly it's the system that does all the heavy lifting I mean think about this it's using pitch correction to tune the guitar not mechanical parts so you would think that it would to try to tune out your bends but the system is smart enough to know when you're bending a note or when you're out of tune there's no latency you can hear right when I hit the string so when you're playing the guitar you just forget about the system usually do you program it till I clock into like you're tuning like what you're saying it's like if you have two three certain tunings that you use you can like program those in the guitar so it has auto recall for although well the guitar on its own doesn't have what you call presets I have to finger the opposite of what I wanted to do for instance a drop and open G for instance see actually this so there you go I know that song so this thing is basically though from anywhere for beginning in trailer sort of that beginning entry-level musician to even a pro school guy you just doesn't want to mess with anything on stage just a click of a button on his guitar in a way he goes absolutely we feel that the customer base is very very wide for this we're not trying to you know have that educators well we want to teach kids to tune their guitar well yeah of course we want to teach kids to tune their guitar there's a lot more to this than just tuning what's the street price on this an entry-level like on these things right now $500 some dollars that's pretty good because I've seen some other fans from other companies went to their names that are twelve to thirteen hundred dollars so five hundred dollars I think you guys want pretty solid product and you guys say absolutely we feel very good about it's been a great show right on thank you very much Michael thank you for your time good luck with the show thanks man
