![]() So the big change in appearance is mostly the two mini toggles near the controls. There still be 4 rotary controls and then 2 mini toggle switches will be added. The Poly-Drive preamp will be mounted in the controls cavity preferably next to a 1/4" jack in the general area where the current output jack is located. "The pickup will replace the original saddles of the Schaller Nashville bridge (most likely already) on your Gibson SG. He also said the local luthier would take like 6-8 hours to router out stuff so like $200-300 sound about right? Anyway, he said more: So that's $600 MSRP (I'm guessing $450 retail). Here is his responses:ġ set PBGS14-6 Pow'r Bridge G pickup saddles $250.MSRP)Īnd 1 P-D 1 K Poly-Drive 1 miniature onboard polyphonic preamp ($350.MSRP)." I emailed RMC corporation in California who recommened I have a luthier install their pickup and two stitches. I noticed two tiny toggle switches right on the face of the guitar as well as the two volumes and two trebles. It was a Brian Moore guitar with a MIDI out (or whatever type of funky cord-with-prong thing that plugs into it and the effects unit). The effects were pretty good but hard to judge with some tiny bookshelf speakers.Īlso, the guitar I played through did not have the special Roland pickup you mount on the face of your guitar but a special, built-in one that was Roland ready. I had only 45 minutes before they closed but it seemed convincing on the acoustic and hollow body sounds. Finally last night I went to a music shop in the far West suburbs of Chicago and they set one up. So I went to many guitar shops in the area over the past couple of months and NOT ONE was able to get the VG-88 to work. Don't have to make wicked barre chords of pressing all 12 strings down. That's cool because you don't have to buy another guitar. It picks up the sound individually from each string and the processor can make it sound very close to a 12-string acoustic (because it know's the exact sound coming from each string). ![]() That would save me from winding pegs and tuning.Īnother thing is it has a GK-2AH pickup that you mount on your guitar. So many Neil Young songs are alternate tuned and lots of rock and AC/DC are all a half step down. (Drop D, open D, E, G, DADGAD, all half step drop, capo +4, on and on). ![]() One feature that I would love is you can play alternate tunings WITHOUT actually winding or unwinding the peg. Built in tuner (whoo hoo, most are not very good compared to stand-alone tuners). It has a steep price of $700 but that pales in comparison to the prices paid just two years ago at $1,500. Over the past months I've been reading as much as I can about the Roland VG-88 multieffects processor. I'm about at the breaking point of shelling out some "big" cash for a guitar effects processor. ![]()
