Main Features

The GC-1 is a new instrument that fuses a traditional Fender

®

 Stratocaster

®

 with Roland’s cutting-

edge technology. 
The 

GC-1 GK-Ready Stratocaster®

 is a guitar with a built-in GK pickup that can be used not only 

as a conventional Stratocaster

®

 but also used to play GK-compatible equipment (such as the 

Roland GR-55 or VG-99). 
By connecting the 

GC-1 GK-Ready Stratocaster®

 to a GK-compatible device, you'll be able to 

play a wide variety of guitar or synthesizer sounds.
