the sound at 2 mins is turbo lover by priest

Dance the Fandango. (lol) I also have this beautiful instrument. I played it back in the day when I snapped the neck off my Aria Pro II CS-350 - a cut-rate but excellent copy of a Gibson SG. Although if you like Fender guitars - esp Strats - this'll blow your mind. Built at the same factory they made Ibanez axes, FujiGen Gakki co. in Japan. They come in white, black & fire red (hot) and also as the MG-500 - same thing but a weird futuristic body type. I got mine in 1987 and played/recorded with it for years. I haven't played it in a while but I'll bet it'll still work on the midi end. It was set up for 10s but I reset it for 9s, changing the action & intonation. I love everything about this guitar and it was a good value even back then at around $400 USD. Not only is it a good solid strat-like electric guitar in it's own right but add on the midi capabilities and it's just like Anthony said. I like that you can change the patches (sounds) from the guitar and either bend or change notes chromatically. A+

Their design is futuristic and timeless. Deconstructivism architecture, its like you're looking at Daniel Libeskind or Zaha Hadid architecture. I want to buy one.

Nice

Not bad ole fella

I fooled with one for a couple hours back in 1985 in a now defunct music store in my home town. I think they were having problems with it not tracking properly when the tempo was fast. If memory doesn’t fail me, it cost around $900. Canadian.

What sound module are you using?

Damn fine drummer you got there….

this is my go to tune when insomnia hits me bad i just play it non stop till i fall asleep thanx are tony

I think boss is kinda bringing this back in a way but i think everything is built in or it was straight midi. If i was right handed I would totally grab one of these if I could.

It's an all plastic Gypsy Jazz Guitar, it's a bit bigger than those cheap plastic toy guitars so it sounds more like a proper Acoustic Guitar.

THE ROLAND GUITAR SYNTHESIZER IS WHAT PEGGY JONES AKA LADY BO PLAYS . LISTEN TO HER SONG AZTEC, PEOPLE THINK BO DIDDLY IS PLAYING THIS, BUT, LADY BO WROTE COMPOSED AND PLAYED ALL GUITARS ON THIS. BACK IN THE 60S AND 70S.

Thanks for the review…I have the same model going up for sale soon

fabulous

superb

I used to have a MG-510 around 1990 and it was great. As a guitar it was totally usable, and as a MIDI controller, it took some tweaking but worked great with sound modules, and it let me play pretty fast. And yes, it actually has a MIDI out connector in the guitar, there is no floor module needed. What's going with the pups on yours tho?

Have had¿for faster play, esp. professionals, to much latence.

LAS HABIA VISTO EN VARIOS GRUPOS INCLUSO ACA EN ARGENTINA.....PERO NO SABIA DE SU FUNCION......ES MUY BUENA ...

problem is having battery pack and piezo blend bolted onto side of guitar...quite off-putting in my view for a beautiful jazzer!

I also have this instrument. I will try to answer a few questions asked here. There is practically no latency at all. Unless you're Tommy Emmanuel, you won't outplay it regarding speed. The MIDI out is not like the Rowland connection. It is your standard 5 pin (original) midi connection. This allows you to plug into any midi keyboard or midi module. As a guitar, it's as good as the best guitars made in Japan in the 80's. The fit, finish, neckwork, and action are excellent. Even after the midi fails, you'll probably keep it to use as a guitar. Fail? Yes. After 10 years or more if you're lucky, the capacitors will dry out. There are schematics available but unless you're a tech, the cost would be dear to replace them. Also I should mention there is a sensitivity adjustment for each string (for midi). The guitar is heavy due to the midi components. Mine weighs in at around 9lbs. The sounds he talks about and assigns are only relevant to the midi source he's using. It will trigger whatever midi device you plug it into and as with most midi guitars, the treble strings have quicker response than the bass strings. Whether or not this is or becomes a collectors item, if you get one you'll probably keep it for a very long time. If the midi component wasn't included it would still be an excellent Strat. Probably the only mistake they made was to use the Casio name on it. I'm sure many guitarists looked at it and passed it by thinking it was a toy. Had they plugged it in and worked with it, many more would have purchased it. Regards. Any questions, just ask.

you still answering questions on this page?

🥰🥰

I remember seeing those in Orgy Stitches such a good song

I think they're great too.

Any chance you know how many of these were made?

I've had one of these for years! However, I'm not a guitarist, I'm a keyboardist. I also happen to be a "Casio junkie", and can't resist buying the older Casio gear. I have TONS of it now. But, I also keep up with current Casio pro stuff, too.

I have only ever seen one person play this type of guitar live. That was in 1986 at RAF Swinderby!

this is the real rock n roll guitar

I love when i find videos like this, just a guitarist showing their guitar. It shows that all these beautifull old gretsch guitars arent locked away by collectors or stuck in a dealership who doesnt want to sell it. I love seing these old almost historic guitars that are still being played.

You might as well had wiped your ass with it

I was always led to believe Yamaha made them??

you mean bye with an e.. . .. but bye the waye the reason a person wants to hear a G40 is to assess whether Manuche can successfully be played on it. The purpose of that style of guitar is that style of music. If you could get in a proper player of that style you'd help us greatly.

Sounds are awesome, finally managed to get a G707 & GR700 and just starting to master it lol. Great video

Seems like so many bad TH-cam. Demos are done by Brits??? Guess the old Gits have lots of free time...unfortunately doesn't seem like much time practicing their instrument...

13:37 = Turbo Lover by Judas Priest

Did you ever try to reprogram the synth?

Ah ah! Groovy!!! Has anybody here had problems with the latency of this controler ? How to fix it!!!! Peace _/)..

I like my red. It plays very nicely and is my lightest guitar.

Jimmy Page said this looked like "a Martian's handbag". ; )

Turbo lover intro

I have a G30. Believe it or not I found it in my neighbors trash can. It is in great shape!! I had no idea (and obviously neither did he) of the value of this wonderful little guitar. Love it.

Were you like me and owned the guitar forever before you figured out you could pull out the bottom volume knob cuz I didn't see you do it in the video mate....lol 😂

13:56 This sound was used by Glenn Tipton on the Song "Turbo Lover" of Judas Priest in the intro.

Here is a tune made with a GR 700..m.soundcloud.com/al-bedo/vostok

Does using the midi out of the Guitar synth foot controller track well with other synths?

As a guitarist that has a large effects board based on modular synthesis... I am so jealous of you... that is one fine instrument you have. Would love it if Roland brought this out again...
