Theoretically, but Gibson made these and it was a real failure in the market to the point they even destroyed a lot of the stock of guitars they couldn't sell.

It might raise from the dead with a non-traditional guitar design like a headless guitar where the mass of the automatic tuners could be hidden inside the guitar body.



Electronic self-tuning machines are still a thing, its just returned to totally aftermarket. Its just too niche and really mostly useful if you use a lot of alternate tunings in a set and can't bring multiple guitars.


Lots of music shops use them too.
