Come on...nobody buys this type of guitar because they don't know how to tune a guitar.
And even if they did, who cares? They aren't going to be out playing in any club I'd want to be in and they won't be putting out any music I'd care to listen to.
I couldn't care less.
I've played the Peavey AT and it was damn cool.
I still tuned it up as close as I could get it, but we all know, or should know that a guitar is never perfectly in tune with itself.
But...it was with the Peavey AT. Only reason I didn't buy it and got a JTV is the Peaveys piezos didn't sounds as good as the mags, which didn't sound as good as I would have liked.
I'm a single coil Strat player and the PV's mag were just bland and thick...and of course, no modeling.
The technology is here and I'd love to see it implemented in the JTV...doesn't mean you have to use it or are going to lose the ability to tune a guitar if you do.
