Robot Guitar ? WTF
Hi Jimmy,
When I was around his age (long time ago), I dreamed on playing on a Gibson Les Paul on a crancked up Marshall JCM 900, like all my guitar heros did..
And then, finally, one day I got them...
After a short while neither of them was in my gear anymore because I found that they both sucked and were highly overpriced... I still play on Les Pauls and SGs, but they are custom made for me by a luthier, for less than what costs a standard Gibson
and the tone is 10 times better (can give you his number if you want 
)
This robot guitar is only good for trashing fenders , or as it has been said, for pros that need to quickly change the tuning on the fly.. and even there.. In many cases we change the guitar because the tone we want is not necessarily the same for each song..
If he doesn't have a good guitar yet, and he desperately wants a Les Paul, I'd rather buy an epiphone LP, change the mics for a couple of seymour duncans (the JB4 and the jazz work like a charm for rock), and take it to a luthier to have it well calibrated (I don't know if it's called like that in english.. sorry )... It's what I'll do for my kids when they'll start playing up loud!
My humble point of view...
