I am a huge fan of the guitars made by Xotica! I first purchased their BX-1 Roland-Ready guitar synthesizer controller years ago, and could not believe the high quality of their design and production. These guitars are produced with a combination of CNC and hand wood working techniques. Check out the photos below, the workmanship on this guitar is as good as any hand-crafted guitar you can find. These guitars and built and designed in the U.S.A.
After I bought the original BX-1 I bought this EA-1 later, and this was the first EA-1 I ever saw for sale. Since each guitar is hand built, I noticed that Xotica tends to vary the features. There is no current version of the EA-1 made quite like this guitar.
Basically, this guitar has two outputs, a natural, acoustic sound, available on an independent 1/4 jack, and a 13-pin Roland-Ready synthesizer output. The acoustic sound is also sent with the synthesizer signals, so you can easily process both the synthesizer output, and acoustic sound, with modern Roland guitar synths like the VG-99. Check out the demos below!

This guitar has a long list of features, but the highlights would include construction using premium woods, the Buzz Feiten Patented Tuning system, three-band equalizer with a sweepable mid-range control, Sperzel locking tuners and a comfortable, light weight. In fact, this guitar only weighs 5 pounds, 14 ounces, putting it in the range of the high-end Park guitars!
I made one modification to this guitar: I changed the function of the guitar/guitar+synthesizer/synthesizer output switch, to work as the Roland GK S1/S2 switch. This was easy to do, and involved moving the switch connector on the Graph Tech circuit board. I actually called Graph Tech, and they explained how to do this.
You can check out the video demos and see how this guitar works as an acoustic guitar, and as a guitar synthesizer controller. I did a demo with the Roland VG-99, but I have also used this guitar with the Roland GI-20, GR-20, GR-33 and VG-88. This guitar will basically work with any Roland 13-pin guitar synthesizer.

Guitarists such as Pat Metheny and Allan Holdsworth pioneered the use of dedicated (and expensive) guitar synth systems in the early eighties. The success of these amazing new sounds led Roland to introduce systems offering this technology at a more affordable cost. Their GK format became the standard for guitar synthesis systems.
These systems are not just for avant-garde guitarists seeking to explore the sonic frontiers of music. Many recording guitarists and songwriters use these systems simply because they enable them to play keyboard sounds from an instrument they are more proficient with.

First, we’ll look at guitars with the GK system built in. One nice thing about having a GK system integrated into the guitar is that it’s invisible to the audience and never gets in the way while performing.
GK and GK-compatible pickups, whether magnetic or piezo, are hexaphonic: that is to say each string generates a discrete output signal, unlike a regular guitar pickup which creates a mixed output from all six strings. This means each string can be assigned a different, unique sound creating polyphonic effects. These options tend to be most flexible when using a dedicated GK-compatible guitar synth module; some of the information may be lost in translation when converting to general-purpose MIDI.
If you’d like to use an external synthesizer module or sampler with your GK-pickup, you’ll need to convert the signal to MIDI with a guitar MIDI interface. Roland is a leader in this field, with the GI-20 GK-MIDI interface/converter, which enables connection to any MIDI synth and also includes a practical USB to MIDI connection for ease of connection to any computer-based sequencing system. Axon also offers first class guitar MIDI systems; the Axon AX100 mkII is considered by some to be the current state of the thanks to its extremely fast 32-bit RISC processor and features such as pick position recognition, and includes over 500 high-quality GM and XG sounds with 128-voice polyphony. The Yamaha G50 guitar to MIDI converter is also recommended for its exceptionally fast tracking response.

Sign up nowSwitch Guitars emerged on the scene with an appearance at the 2004 NAMM show, introducing the world to brightly colored injection molded guitars made from a patented material called 'Vibracell', a polyurethane resin-based synthetic material. At first glance, these appeared to be all 'plastic' guitars that were marketed to be on an equal footing with vintage instruments due to their advanced construction methods. But rather than being expensive boutique guitars, they were also very affordable, perhaps creating the impression of an over-hyped product that was just too good to be true.
Vibracell is considered one of the few, if not the only, major breakthrough in the creation of musical instruments today. Since the beginning of time change has been inevitable. However, change would never be a consideration if there were never a question of need or improvement.
A check of the archived website shows they certainly had a large number of metal guitarists who were endorsees of these new guitars, including guitarist Robert Sweet and bassist Tim Gaines of the American Christian metal band Stryper and Tim Ripper Owens, one time lead singer of the British metal band Judas Priest, and most notably Lou St. Paul of Winter's Bane who did a video clip playing and endorsing Switch Guitars. But it seems the public at large did not share the enthusiasm.

The company also introduced a number of Roland-Ready guitars, equipped with the Roland GK-2A electronics package installed internally, and in 2007 offered the 'Stealth' line, which was much more subdued than the original guitars, with more of a satin finish. By late 2007/early 2008 the company was folding up operations, and there were many blowout sales on the remaining inventory.
Most people who have owned and played a Switch guitar report them to be really excellent instruments. Time and time again guitar players have shown themselves to be very conservative when it comes to guitar construction, and reluctant to embrace anything not based on a fifty year old design. The example featured on this page, a Roland-Ready Wild-IV, is a pretty great guitar, and the integration of the Roland GK-2A pickup into the body is second to none.
Quality craftsmanship includes Switch's signature VIBRACELL® 3-D shaped neck-thru-body, which provides warm tone and great feel. Cool chrome SWITCH logo on headstock with Grover tuning machines.
