Nice unit for the money. Unfortunately, my ps board went out on mine. I'm looking for the service manual so I can repair it or, alternatively, find a pin-out for the hex pickup and see if I can wire it for a Roland GI-10 or synth unit and bypass the internal electronics. Anyone out there who can help? The thing plays nicely, although the guitar pickups aren't great.

Well its not a synth, just a guitar with a a midi converter slapped in so the overwhelming factor here is how it tracks. Truth be told, it is not terrible.
Having played the roland of the same vintage, I was not terribly dissapointed.
The real problem was that it was a pretty crappy guitar. I changed the neck, replaced pickups and hardware and it now sounds respectable, like a charvel. Also stays in tune better which translates into better tracking. For the price
it was rather incredible, i still use it often.
