Gibson have launched a new version of their Robot Les Paul guitar which they claim is the “most technologically advanced of its kind”.

Only 4000 limited edition Gibson Dark Fire guitars, which cost £2,500, will go into production.

The updated instrument allows musicians to switch easily between analogue and digital using a Master Control Knob (MCK).

The knob can also used to change pick-ups and coils several times during the same song.

Musicians will be able to by the guitar at over 400 Gibson dealers across the world from December 15th.
