Roland G-505

The Roland G-505 was a guitar designed for interfacing with the Roland guitar synthesizer, the Roland GR-300. It had three single-coil pickups and a 5-position selector.

Mike Rutherford had this guitar (a blue one, modified with a Floyd Rose tremolo) during the Genesis era between 1983 and 1984. Often he played it live (and occasionally in the studio), just as a guitar without the synth interfaced. He alternated between this and a blue Roland G-202 on the tour.
