General

Roland and Fender have combined their forces to create an extremely versatile electric guitar that is ready for the future. The GC-1 is a 100% authentic Fender Stratocaster with a built-in Roland GK-3 system and a hexaphonic MIDI pickup. It gives you direct access to the many diverse possibilities offered by Roland's GK products, such as the GR-55 guitar synthesizer and the VG-99 V-Guitar system. Imagine playing both electric and acoustic, or even bass and piano, all with one single guitar! With the Roland GC-1 GK Ready Stratocaster you can!

Roland GC-1: a genuine Fender Strat

The GC-1 is a genuine Fender Stratocaster to the bone. It is fitted with the traditional double cut-away body made of solid alder and a neat black lacquer finish. The neck of this specific model is made of a single piece of maple and is fitted with 22 medium jumbo frets, while the head is equipped with top-quality American tuners. This electric guitar features a vintage-style tremolo bridge and three amazing-sounding single-coil pickups. The regular two tone knobs have been replace by one master tone controller. A volume knob is also present, as well as a five-way pickup switch. In short, the GC-1 is a fully functional Fender Strat, featuring the authentic sound and feel.

Roland GK-3 system

The Roland GC-1 GK Ready Stratocaster has a complete, nearly invisibly built-in GK-3 system. Between the bridge and the bridge pickup, you'll find Roland's Hex-Divided pickup. The standard GK controls are located next to the passive volume and tone knobs of the guitar. They consist of a selection switch, Up and Down buttons and a volume knob, which is located where you would normally find the second tone knob of the Strat. The 13-pin connector is located on the side of the body and can be used at the same time as the ¼-inch jack output.

The Roland GC-1 GK Ready Stratocaster is not just any old guitar, but offers numerous possibilities. Use it in combination with a 13-pin compatible guitar synthesizer and the wide range of sounds that no other guitar can offer you will blow you away.

Roland GC-1 GK Ready Stratocaster BLK electric guitar black

Wrote the following about Roland GC-1 GK Ready Stratocaster BLK electric guitar black
Voor mij een prima Mexicaanse Strat, alleen wat er meestal met de meeste nieuwe gitaren zijn, dat de action aan de topkam te hoog is. Ik heb dit inmiddels zelf afgesteld tot voor mij de goede speelhoogte. Het GK3 element aanpassen aan de hoogte van de nieuwe action en het speelt nu super. 4 sterren alleen door de te hoge action, maar hij is anders beslist 5 sterren waard.
Deze gitaar doe ik dus nooit meer weg.
