I got this sucker WITH the gk-2a pickup for about $500 at americanmusical.com, and enjoy it.
You have to get to know it well first before you really enjoy. When you first get it, you love it because of it's possibilities of playing guitar+keyboard both at once. You then realize that it isn't as simple as a regular guitar, where some notes come in loud, or not at all. You then play it for a long while, and you adapt to it. You become better at playing the guitar with working with the gk-2a. You then enjoy it.
It's an aquired taste. The majority of guitarists would look at it as a novelty, much like the keyboardists. I play both instruments, so I thought it might bridge the gap. Instead, it makes something almost totally different, like a new instrument.
Most people will yell at the delay problem, especially when playing live. I noticed it, but it's not as severe as they make it out to be. You just need to get better at the instrument.
I enjoy the guitar out option so it now defeats having to chords come out from the guitar or using the same amp for keyboard and speaker. You can use a big guitar amp for the guitar, then say a KC-500 for the keyboard part.
Alright keyboard sounds, but it's a good thing it has MIDI. It could use a good expression pedal.
