If we're going for a DofH model, then the Daisy Duke extra curvy body would be interesting...

Gibson already did that. :)

I was talking off the record to two salesmen in two different shops. All the new Gibsons have the automatic tuners, a very very very wide neck, 'Les Paul 100' (??) written very ugly on all headstocks and of course the prices went up a lot. They both hated the guitars.. ..and sell a lot.

The best thing that can be said about those robo-tuners is they're easy to remove.   At least the old ones were..hopefully that's not a feature they changed  ;D

Dave's Guitar Shop will remove the robo tuners and install regular tuners at no charge if you buy a new 2015 Gibson from them. So they must be easy enough to remove.

Hopefully Gibson isn't planning on a bass version.

Realistically, I imagine bass strings require so much torque for a battery powered motor that anything big enough to articulate a bass tuner would be much heavier than the guitar tuners.  TBirds would have to start shipping with mic stand attachments for the headstocks.
