Roland G-505 Guitar Synth Midi Guitar 1983 Metallic Blue

No sales tax for customers outside California.

Here we have an early 80s Fujigen made Roland G-505 electric guitar with built in Roland synth controls.

The guitar is all original and plays well. 

The original hardshell case is included.  The 24 pin cable is not, but they are available out there, as well as a 24 to 13 pin converter that allows you to use this guitar with modern Roland synth units.

Guitar players who love the feel of a Fender guitar but wanted to explore synthesis were immediately taken with the Roland G-505. The G-505 has classic Fender lines with a satisfyingly chunky maple neck bolted to a lightweight ash body. In addition to accessing the world of vintage 24-pin synthesis, the three single coil pickups did a great job of capturing the wide range of Fender Strat sounds as well.  It was used by a variety of artists, including Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Eddie Van Halen.
