Fitting A Boss GK-5 Kit

soundonsound.com

The Boss GK-5 Electric Guitar Divided Pickup System impresses with its seamless integration into guitar synths and modellers, offering a clean, digital signal via a quarter-inch TRS jack. While the system boasts improved tidiness over its predecessors, it sacrifices physical controls and combined guitar signal output, which may deter some users. The installation process is demanding, often requiring a luthier or strong DIY skills, as it involves significant modifications to the guitar body. For those willing to take on the challenge, the GK-5 KIT offers a robust solution with detailed instructions and minimal soldering. However, its complexity and potential impact on guitar resale value make it a less attractive option for the faint-hearted or those with high-value instruments.
