Roland G-707 Synth Guitar Controller

:: © J. R. Mortimer and E. C. Y. Foo October 2011 ::

This synth controller was purchased back in the early 80's, when Roland were still tuning their synth controlling gear. It was purchased from a hock shop for probably too much money, and was later matched to the synth portion (the Roland GR-700, not pictured here) from a private sale.
