The Gibson Robot Guitar

The Gibson Robot Guitar (Man/Woman Who Has Everything, Creative Type, $5,000 and Under)

If money is no object and your giftee just simply has to have one of everything, you might as well pick him/her up the Robot Guitar from Gibson when it goes on sale December 7. Price? We're not sure... but you can bet it'll be expensive. The Robot Guitar is available in a limited edition version only for now, with just 400 stores carrying 10 units each at $2,500 a pop.

This axe hides a computer in the neck that controls motorized tuners, which allowing players to forget about tuning almost all together. The built-in computer even has preset alternate tunings so guitarists can switch from standard to DADGAD on the fly. It also helps users fix the intonation, a process usually handled by a professional in a repair shop.

All of this comes in a classic Les Paul shape with a gorgeous new paint job dubbed "Blue Silverburst."
