    The GR-20 Guitar Synthesizer makes playing high-quality synthesizer and instrument sounds from your guitar as simple as 1-2-3. First, attach the included GK-3 Divided Pickup to your steel-stringed electric (no drilling necessary). Second, select the type of sound you want using the Bank knob. Third, choose a sound variation using the Number/Value dial and start playing. With the GR-20, its easy to tap into the power of guitar synthesis.

    I love how guitar synths through the years, without fail, provide an amazing technology, to make sounds no one's ever wanted to use.
    You can get an interface, which is the tracking without the synth. Just make sure you have a poly-synth with 6 voices.
