Hi. I still own an MG500 though I don’t play any more. But, through the nineties I played in a versatile dance/party/Blues band with regular bookings and used the MIDI facility on many numbers.I used a Kawai K1.r2 rackmounted Digital Synth The response time was minimal and the sounds excellent for that time.By the way it was an excellent orthodox guitar as well with built in tuner.

I had 2 Guitorgans in the 70’s to 2015. Now have a Roland Fender Strat with built in midi pu. Hooked up to the GR55. Use it on solo gigs, love it!

Hi there, i got one and have been using it at lot for the last 20 yrs or so and it’s a part of a family of 12 of different brands and I prefer it for the EPI LP 3-pu. I’m not using it for the midi although i’ve been trying it, but not the best for that purpose. But still as for the guitar it is very good, and going strong. But unfortunately i guess we have to agree that they are UGLY, and a bit spaced. Thanks for the info. BW
