Quite modest to some of these posts:
2009 Epi '58 Korina Explorer..   People may scoff at Epis, but I have only praise and not a single complaint (sans special case needed) about this model.

Mounted is the GK-2A going I'm the trusty VG-8 (not shown)

I dunno why I haven't posted this yet. It's been like a year since I've had my luthier do this mod. Against all recommendations of modding vintage gear, I decided to do it anyway. Here's a 1981 Yamaha SG-1000 with a permanent GK-3 installation and Roland VG-99 + GR-30.

My newest guitar all up and working thanx to Yohann Damour and his 24-13 pin converter

Ibanez X-ing IMG2010

It's mint condition.
The best tracking with a Roland synth I've experienced
(GR-33)

And one of my first GK guitar back from storage
Ovation Deacon , modified with Fernandez Sustainer, internal GK
( saved all the original electronics , PUs and switches)
I'm really into this guitar and the one the body of my double neck was modeled from.

With the new SY-1000 in the mix I have not started to plan yet.
I need to get SY-1000 filled with patches and I'm not sure how I'll handle
a few pedal like freeze , looper and Count to five with a iPhone in the send return loop.
( I don't like mixers , I do have a 1/4 " 4-1 box laying around )
And I have the Spicetone 6appeal to integrate as well.
And I'm a modular person, so the setup varies. The three constants are a GK guitar , a GK unit and a dd-20. Everything added is a bonus but not really necessary.

Well if you ever get bored of it, I'll take it off your hands! ;-)


I love those old Yamahas

SY1000. I've already sold my VG-99 and GP-10


Ghost Acousti-Phonic piezos. I also have the Hexpander and a 13-pin connector on one side but I am not using it. I prefer the GK-3

This modest setup is keeping me entertained and adding some background atmosphere to those Skype meetings




peter_dawson

Here's my setup:
- Ibanez RG1520GK with piezo pickups spray painted by my daughter
- Roland GR55
- Boss RC30 to create layers of loops with different instruments
- Mooer Brown Sound 3 Preamp to enhance the analogue sounds form the diMarzio pickups
- Hughes & Kettner Redbox Cabinet simulator to smooth the analogue sounds form the Mooer
- TC Electronic Forcefield Compression to keep the combined output volume to the PA constant regardless of the number of layers or the instruments used


prtzah

I always felt uncomfortable with the position of the GK-3 mic top part. Kept hitting it and just waited when the cord would break. Problem solved now with some 3rd class wood work.

peter_dawson

Nice

Agreed. Its as if Roland thought 'how can we design the most obtrusive and ugly thing that anyone can do to a guitar'

hello,
here my Parker Fly 95' Mod
no additional holes ...
Hexpander Midi
14 pin prof. connector for Midi & Analog
Juggernout 2 x
C&K toggles
Push button with Blue LED light if powered on... dimmable see last pic... blue ring led... killswitch...
CTS Push/pull 3 x (single/hum, paralel/seriel, phase) Vol, Tone, Midi Vol
all carving got shielded by copper... it was good ... but now it's absolute quiet also with full metal dist.
use SY-1000 now... sold my Axe FX II after testing the SY one month...
don't like the GK stuff on a git.... so that's why i'll did this and it was the best i've ever done...
the 14 pin connector ... is GOLD  ;)
life is what you make it...

Life is not fair. It gave me everything. So I just got this beautiful things assembled now. Now all the fun starts tweaking things to perfection  ;D
Also my new GX-2 prototype I've been working on for many years covers dual guitars and dual synths and adds some nice effects never heard before.



But I got more gear than I need...and I like it!

Sorry intruding again with my home made Ibanez Prestige.
It's a so *** unbelivable guitar. All the sounds I need with the regular three pickups, plus all the extra sounds the Roland Pickup gives (GR-55+SY-1000)
If someone wants to put the Dremel into one of this guitars, ...I have some pictures, to help you out.
This was my first install. My precious.

But I got more gear than I need...and I like it!
