Gibson Robot guitar and Radiohead win Digital awards
BT Digital Music Awards also honour Coldplay
Gibson's Robot Les Paul electric guitar has won the Best Music Hardware gong at the BT Digital Music Awards.
The guitar not only self-tunes and self-intonates, but also features a rotary master control knob that gives access to a range of customisable alternate tunings including Open E, DADGAD, Drop D and several others.
"The Robot guitar was a vision I had for many years prior to its production and to win goes to prove that it has been embraced by musicians around the world and I am delighted," said Henry Juszkiewicz of Gibson Guitar.
