Vintage 1980s Roland G-707 Synth Guitar w/ GR700 Syhthesizer - $2,200 - (Glen Burnie, MD)
Vintage 1980s Roland G-707 Synth Guitar w/ GR700 Syhthesizer Vintage 1980s Roland G-707 Synth Guitar w/ GR700 Syhthesizer 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.

The G707 guitar plays flawlessly with no issues and it has amazing action. There is one small dong on the back of the neck and a few light surface scratches on the body but otherwise it is all original and in excellent condition. The GR700 is in equally excellent condition and it is fully functional. This package includes the G707 Synth Guitar with its original hardshell case, GR700 Synthesizer pedalboard and all cables to connect them. It also has copies of the manual and an additional memory card for…
