The GK-5 is an easy-to-install guitar pickup tailored for the advanced Serial GK digital interface in the latest BOSS guitar synthesizer products. Compared to the previous analogue 13-pin interface, Serial GK unlocks a whole new world of sonic possibilities for guitar and bass synthesis. The GK-5 Divided Pickup is designed specifically for the GM-800 and other BOSS guitar synthesizer products. Unlike regular guitar pickups that combine all string signals into one output, the GK-5 senses each string individually and sends their signals to separate outputs in the Serial GK system. This gives your compatible BOSS product the ability to perform advanced processing that standard pickups can't. Features: Next-generation divided pickup for steel-string guitars, supports the Serial GK interface in new BOSS guitar synthesizers, ensures stable digital signal transmission, has a light and low-profile connector housing, flat and slim design fits most standard electric guitars, comes with an attachment plate for Les Paul-style guitar bridges, connector housing mounts securely to the instrument's strap button with the included bracket, and requires specially designed BOSS Serial GK cables (BGK series, not included) for stable operation. Specifications: Connector is a 1/4-inch TRS phone type GK Output Jack (for BGK cable only), includes mounting parts set, owner's manual, and leaflet notes, body dimensions are 38mm (W) × 73mm (D) × 16mm (H), pickup dimensions are 103mm (W) × 8mm (D) × 9mm (H), body weight is 30g / 1.1 oz, and pickup weight is 10g / 0.04 oz.
Using the BOSS GK-5 Divided Pickup is quite straightforward. First, if you have a Les Paul-style guitar, attach the provided plate to the bridge. Then, mount the connector housing securely to the instrument's strap button using the included bracket. Connect the pickup to your BOSS guitar synthesizer product with a BOSS Serial GK cable (you'll need to buy one separately). When using it, make sure the connections are tight for stable signal transmission. For maintenance, keep the pickup clean by gently wiping it with a soft cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you have any issues, refer to the owner's manual. With proper use and care, the GK-5 will keep delivering great performance for your guitar synthesis needs.
