Gibson Dark Fire...what's the verdict?

Lots of hype on this one. And apparently, lots of production delays.

By now, you've probably heard the news about the Gibson Dark Fire. Robot self-tuning technology, Chameleon Tone system that allows you to recreate just about any guitar sound your heart desires, and all this controlled by a Master Control Knob that allows you to change tunings, pickups and tones on the fly, and in ways you never expected.

But, wherefore art thou, Dark Fire? Production delays have pushed back shipment dates and the world waits for a sign. Just give us some kind of sign, Gibson.

If you'd like to pre-order a Gibson Dark Fire, I believe the place to do it is GuitarCenter.com You might also ask them when we can expect to see these beautiful babies out in the real world. Please, let me know what you find out!
