Easy To Install And Fully Adjusts to ALL Electrics!

The new GK-3 Guitar Pickup from Roland offers access to Roland Guitar Synthesizers for all electric guitarists! The GK-3 pickup has been completely redesigned for optimum response. It's 30% thinner than its predecessor and now uses a standard 1/4" jack for normal guitar input.

Fully adjustable for the best response
The GK-3 pickup now includes an adjustable curve design that keeps an even distance between the strings, guaranteeing the best possible response. Even the pickup cable length is adjustable!

Les Paul players can now join the party
With the GK-3, Roland hasn't left out any electric guitars! If you play a Les Paul-type guitar you can safely install the GK-3 without any drilling by using an included special attachment plate.

There's a GK-3 for bass players, too
Roland's GK-3B pickup is specifically designed for bass guitars. It connects you to the same great Roland synths and processors.

Requires GKC-5 or GKC-10 13-pin cable - not included

Awesome

I bought the GK-2 when it first came out. I liked it. I checked into the GK-3. I like it much more. I plan to install it on my BOSS Eurus.

Awesome!!!

I am very pleased and excited with the GK-3. I just recently purchased the BOSS Eurus guitar. And I wanted to make it my main "go to guitar." Now I can use my GR-1 and my VG-99. All of this will be coming through my Katana MKll 100/212.
I take my hat off to Zack for an awesome job during every step of the way with this purchase of the pickup.

Happy customer

Don't know why any musician would want to buy anywhere else, the people at Sweetwater are very nice and helpful with you, to me, that's everything when it comes to buying a product, they care about you and make sure you are happy with your purchase. This country has gotten away from that in past years, not good business, take care of your people and they will take care of you.
Happy Customer!!!

Roland GK-3 pickup

It respond with no latency time. Easy to mount on guitars ( both electric and acoustic steel string giutars)
I use this pickup with Roland GR-55 snd they are made for each other.
I would reccommend to all musician who want more sounds than just your guitar"s sound.
And the Roland GR-55 is an excellent pedal.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Nick Schenkel

Dead simple to install (even temporarily). Excellent tracking. Roland quality and support. If you are looking at this pickup, you know what it does and why you want it. Just go ahead and order. You will not be disappointed.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
