When this absolutely MINTY Roland Guitar Synthesizer rig walked through the door, we thought we were dreaming.

A rare-as-can-be find even in poor condition, this one has perfect frets, a near perfect original case and manual, and even the plastic control overlay! A museum piece if we've ever seen one.

The G model guitars have been well known among jazzers for being great playing guitars, even outside of their synth applications. Neck-thru with ebony board, super low action, great sounding pickups, and it all comes from the golden age of Greco at the Fujigen factory. Many prophetic players have been spotted with this essentially souped up Greco GO1000. Pat Metheny, Robert Fripp, Andy Summers, and Lee Ritenour to name a few. The range of sounds on this is nothing short of jaw dropping, as you would expect. Though he never directly associated with this setup, you can find a lot of Allan Holdsworth sounds in here.

Aside from the photographed chip toward the neck heel, this guitar is basically spotless! A must for Roland collectors or synth-heads, you honestly don't need to be one of the aforementioned names to make some amazing sounds and have a ton of fun doing it. This is a huge argument for the analog-era. It's always more fun to touch the real gear than MIDI-control a VST or plugin.

Excellent condition, includes Synthesizer Pedal, OHSC, Manual, and carrying case.

Guitar weighs 9 lbs 6 oz
