I think the concept is sound if you are having issues, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to stick one on. Good that there's no drilling though.
They are ugly though...

It would be good if you could get a Smart Butler that links up to the weather forecast for your area.
Now I'm not a bible basher at all, not even religious but I'd prefer a guitar that stays in tune than one that goes all shonky, and that little piece of metal wouldn't offend me in the slightest.
It's a shame Gibson missed a trick on doing this with their 2015 adjustable nut - at least the later titanium version - as well as making it unnecessarily wide and then having to do the same with the neck.

It is my belief that the original Futura patent application drawings were one of Ted McCarty's red herrings to confuse the competition. Unfortunately, a myth grew that Gibson built a few of them. In the Seventies, Ibanez produced replicas of this non-existent instrument. Eventually, Gibson made some themselves.
On my Les Paul the only issue is the G String, and if I replace it with a wound one, the problem goes away. I'm back to a plain 3rd as I do a lot of bends though.

That's got randomly placed string trees all over the place.
