Roland GK-3 - Slimline Divided Pickup

Great Product

This is to be installed on another guitar for a little more flexibility. My original unit is installed on a Fender Stratacoustic and this one will be installed on a solid body Stratacaster. The original one is awesome played through a Roland GR effects pedal, creating enormous instrument sounds opportunities. The sale priced was a great enhancement!Read full review

The good/bad about the GK-3 Guitar divided pickup

Well, let’s start with the good, it works out designed and is the only option for connecting to Roland guitar processors that are sampler based.

The bad is not horrible except for two things as of now. The unit is not wireless so you will have to be corded to the processor. Also do unit does not remove easily as in taking it off. Plugging it back in it. Either is screwed in place or it is double sided tape to the guitar. The problem with this is if you have a snug fitting guitar case the unit really sticks out, the only way around this is a universal nylon soft case that allows some stretching room. Which adds another 100 bucks to the cost of the “to use” price. PS one thing good about getting a new kit with all the included parts is the fact that it all the brackets and screws will affectively mount the unit to a Gibson style guitar without any modifications other than a quick, releasing all the strings, installing the units, then re-tightening the strings.Read full review

Cool synth tones from your guitar

I use this through a Roland GR-33 (older version of GR-55) that goes to a synth amp and I also have a separate guitar signal from the same guitar that goes to my guitar amp. I can get amazing synth pad tones behind the guitar. Many people wonder if my band has a keyboard player because they can't figure out where the cool synth tones are coming from live. The GK3 opens up a world of possibilities to guitarists who are open to experimenting!Read full review

Great Addition to your Guitar

Using this Pick-up adds so much to the palette of sounds you can achieve when going synth. It is an easy set-up adding this to your guitar, just follow instructions and maybe go to you-tube for visual assistance.Read full review

GK3

I have had several GK3's in the past. They however don't last forever so this is a spare. Work well with Roland GR-09 which I have used for well over ten years already.

Different but good

A bit different from the traditional gk2a. Need to get used to it. But works just the same.
