Myrk- Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Well some of you might have noticed from the electronics forum that I picked up a G-707 guitar synth the other day. Just thought I'd enlighten you all as to its quirky form... The second neck thing above is made of some wierd plastic material, and is bolted onto the headstock, and the tuners are bolted through that and the headstock (the plastic second neck kind of wraps over the headstock top). Anyway, it seems to connect to the body through some rubber seal and more bolts. At first I thought it was some midi reason (they say about it on some old websites), but I've found it makes the tone of the guitar unbelievable! With this wierd neck, you can hold a note almost indefinitely! The sustain is amazing, and the guitar sounds like a Gibson Les Paul, but yet its a bolt on with alder body. Just thought I'd let you guys know so you crazy builders could think of some way to maybe incorporate the second support neck into the first to make a better neck. This is all through a normal amp btw, not through the synth module. I would highly recommend any guitar builders try out this guitar, its very unusual but has an amazing tone.

boomerlu Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hey, it sounds interesting, but I'll echo Robert's sentiment. A working link would be nice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrk- Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I have a GR-700 synth module, if you were in the UK I'd sell that to you, I'd rather have the lesser GR-300, which is meant to have better tracking. I'm a tad too quick for my GR-700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott French Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I did a setup and new nut on the bass version of one of those. I didn't think it played or sustained any better than a normal bass but the electronics were pretty amazing. I saw the bass played at the Filmore in SF and even with a 4 string it had the ability to be almost sub-sonic. Feel the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickguard Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I did a setup and new nut on the bass version of one of those. I didn't think it played or sustained any better than a normal bass From the description I read, it seems that extra bar fills the same role as adding carbon fiber rods to the neck? Although I think the look is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
