I own a GR20 and it rocks
Except it's not built for guitar sounds, so they deeply suck.... you'd have to get a VG99 for them, and it's waaay too pricey.... and not that usefull after all
But except those two units.... there aren't much synths out there that are as versatile and reliable imo... Still if you'll need to install the GK3, you'll have a bulky unit mounted/drilled on your guitar that's kind of unestethic and in the way, so I'd rather recommend getting a GK bridge or a midi guitar (like a Godin ) But if

I'm lucky enough to own a Roland GR-30, an Ibanez RG1520 and a Fender Roland Ready Strat. I'm not too keen on the Fender, but the Ibanez is awesome, far superior in every way. As for synths, I intend on buying an Axon AX100 MkII. I recommend you check the demo videos on the Axon site, some of the things it can do are amazing.

Hi!
What do you want to do? Record? Play live?
A guitar with a bridge/piezo pickup will track better than the GK pickup.
Check out the Axon's! They track a lot better then the Roland but harder to setup. Once they are setup though they work great and have alot of features. The Gr-20 works for live. If you are going to record and trigger software with it--it is a little slow.
The Roland Vg-99 is a great unit.
You can contact me directly with any questions.
