Product Details

Roland G-505

We've received a rare Roland G-505, a controller designed for Roland's guitar synth systems, which first appeared around 1980!

While positioned as equipment to be used in combination with systems like the GR-300, its appeal lies in its fast attack and clear mid-to-high frequency response thanks to its sen wood body and maple fretboard/neck, as well as its Stratocaster-like body design and pickup configuration, making it highly practical as a guitar. It's also famous for being used by Journey guitarist Neal Schon and Eric Clapton.

Regarding synth control, it features frequency cutoff, resonance, and a balancer between guitar and synth sounds. The rear pickup has a touch sensor, allowing for vibrato on the synth sound. The vibrato depth is also adjustable, allowing for a wide range of expression. This is a high-quality instrument that combines practicality and creativity.

Don't miss this opportunity to acquire it!
