The GK-3 was a pain to fit back in the day and get tracking properly (it never really succeeded) but is the GK-5 a better unit that actually works?

So I show you about the GK-5, it's components and I take an Tokai Les Paul type guitar and fit the GK-5 to that guitar. While I do cover the fitting to an LP guitar, it's not a bad idea to watch this video even if you're fitting it to a Stratocaster or something similar, because the procedures are not that different really.

Now I did create the video and have never fitted a GK-5 Boss pickup to any guitar before, so if I can do it, you should be fine - just watch how I do it.

Part of this series includes a 1 1/2 hour video all about the SY-1000 and the GM-800 synths for guitar and that video covers loads of different things overall. You can find that here:    • Roland Boss SY-1000 & GM-800 How good...   as that is the main video in this series on guitar synths.

I have spent considerable time creating this video over ten days of work and two days editing entirely at my own expense:
