I am selling a Roland G-707 Guitar Synthesizer Controller. This controller is in excellent condition, as the pictures reflect – note that the “G707” and “GR” lettering on the stabilizer bar and headstock are completely intact. Some details from Wayne Joness’ site: Body: Ash
Neck: Maple with ABS stabilizer bar
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Frets: 22
Bridge: Roland tremolo
Nut: Polycarbonate
Tuning machines: Gotoh, 6 in-line
Pickups: Two Roland Humbuckers
Scale: 25 1/2"
Truss Rod: Single, Adjustable
Neck Width: 1 5/8"
Body Width:9"
Body Depth: 1 3/4"
Overall Length: 39 1/2" Roland's commitment to guitar synthesis took a wild and unexpected turn in 1984 with the introduction of the GR-700 guitar synthesizer, and the G-707 guitar. In its previous incarnation, Roland had conservatively leaned on the knowledge and experience of Fujigen to produce guitars with familiar shapes and sounds: the Les Paul like G-303/808 and the familiar Fender designs of the G-202/505. The G-707 was simply a guitar of the kind no one had ever seen, a strikingly original instrument in the generally derivative guitar market. Its 25 1/2" scale neck, and dual humbucker pickups, put it in the "super strat" category, but the wild body shape and stabilizer arm went places no major manufacturer had ventured before. I have yet to meet a person who has actually played the G-707 who did not remark on the ease and playability of the G-707 guitar. The ABS stabilizer bar really works to tame the inconsistencies of a guitar neck, if you can get past the visual effects. And much of the G-707 was never seen again: the Roland roller tremolo bridge, the newer, smaller electronics package that did not include the hex fuzz option of the G-202/303/505/808, and of course the ABS stabilizer bar.The G-707 is really a performance instrument. The guitar comes with original hard case and tremelo bar. The case handle is broken, but is included if you want to repair it. The guitar functions perfectly both as a stand-alone guitar and as a synth controller. These controllers may appear now and then for sale, but finding one with a black finish is very rare. This controller is your best chance to own a piece of history and get a great instrument to boot. Shipping is $60 CONUS. I will ship internationally, and will charge what it costs to ship. If you are an international buyer, contact me before purchase for a shipping cost. Strap in pictures not included.
