Roland's first guitar synthesizer was the GR-500, released in 1977. Later they pioneered the use of the modern hexaphonic divided pickup with a 13-pin output cable via the GK-2A and its descendants. This de-facto-standard connection was also adopted by Yamaha and Axon.
The V-Guitar systems, while not strictly guitar synthesizers, are included here.
