Manual Tuning with the Robo-Tuners
You can tune LPX’s Robo-Tuners by hand as an alternative to using Robot tuning technology.
Caution!
Never use a manual or mechanical string winding tool, or attempt to tune the
Robo-Tuners manually while they are operating robotically.
Either one of these
operations could permanently damage the Robo-Tuners.
Unlike conventional tuning keys, Robo-Tuners all turn in the same direction. The Robo-Tuner
tuning posts have locking nuts to secure the end of each string during tuning operations.
Robot technology includes special functions for changing strings (starting on page 34), as
this is much faster than changing strings manually. Gibson strongly advises using these
functions when changing strings not only due to speed and convenience, but because they
minimize Robo-Tuner wear.
