A Challenging and Well Engineered Enhancement

If it's your first time, I recommend use of a forgiving Strat in case you make some boo-boos - certainly not something precious. I've done several installations and learned tricks for assembling and configuring the kit. Online community helps a lot. Get an extra pickguard to experiment with control placement so you can drill holes in different spots. I recommend purchase of an inexpensive "momentary on-off-momentary on" toggle switch as an option to the up-down pads, to save space. I also purchase a Synth-Linx jack to reduce cutting into the guitar body. If you don't have a Dremel in your tool belt, get one. It's a fun challenge and looks cleaner than the Roland external unit.

Good product

Like any technology, it is not perfect. But if you spend some time tweaking your settings with the GR-55, you can really get the most out of the product. I never attempted to install the external GK3 pickup, because of the many negative reviews I read online. I purchased this internal kit and brought it to a good luthier to install. It sounds great.

Best GK Pick-up available

I have this unit installed in a Zion guitar. I also have two other Zion guitars with the GK-2 and GK-3 external pickups mounted and I must say that for whatever reason this internal model seems to track much better than the others. I did not install this myself as I purchased the guitar with the unit already installed. But it is obvious that the installation does require some degree of skill to facilitate a good job! If you are not confident in your skill level I would suggest hiring a good technician to do the work. You wont be disappointed. I use this pick-up through a GR-55, VG-99 and a Korg Kronos. Sound capability with this system (properly adjusted) are simply amazing!

I built a synth guitar

After using the Gk3 external pickup for a while with my Roland GR-20 I decided to get the GK kit.
I had a pro Luthier install it for me and I would recommend anybody to do this.
I had it built into my Epiphone Prophecy SG custom and it sounds great. I can run a functioning extra cable from my guitar now as well to a 2nd amp.
having it built in to my guitar opened up many more playing, sound and configuration options.

love it, but wiring nightmare they need to have better instructions , but love the unit !

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
