ROLAND - G-707

ELECTRIC GUITAR / GUITAR SYNTHESIZER CONTROLLER

CHECKED, TESTED, BOXED UP & READY 2 GO

NOTE: This is a "re-list". Buyer "sax2112" in Montreal bought this guitar and my Roland GM-70, but then would not pay for either item!
So now it is re-listed. Good luck. Please don't bid, if you don't intend to pay.

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

Unit comes shipped boxed in it's original case with PDF owners manual.

Condition of the unit is MINT. I am the owner since new. This is the rare RED guitar model.
It has NO wear and tear; NO surface scratches with which you would expect find on a used guitar.
Officially it is used, but a better description would be "New, Old Stock".

It has never traveled or left my home. The plastic protector has never been taken off. The key for the case still hangs from the string since new.

For players that are not familiar with this type of guitar, here are 3 youtube links done by Wayne Scott Joness. He is one the nation's most knowledgeable Rolland specialist. This is for information only. He has advised me, but he is not part of my sale.

Roland G-707 - The unique appearance of the Guitar Controller G-707 not only provides a spectacular stage presence, it also makes it's tone remarkably good. The unusual body shape emphasizes the effect of stabilizer. The neck is made of maple, the body of adler and the stabilizer of ground breaking special compound plastics. The originally designed tremolo unit of the G-707 adapts a large ball bearing of 16mm diameters and a roller bridge, therefore producing smooth yet dynamic action, and such a high satability that does require no tuning lock system.

The G-707 can be used as a electric guitar in it's own rights, but when used in conjucntion with the to the GM-70 it becomes a most powerfull controller, add functions such as: Balance, Cut Off Frequency, Edit (Resonance), LFO Modulation, Mode Switch.
The pins are nice and straight.

This is a real gem. Don't pass it up!

UNIT IS IN PRISTINE, SHOWROOM CONDITION AESTHETICALLY AND FUNCTIONALLY. ONLY USED IN A SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT AT HOME AND HAS VERY LOW USAGE.
