Super rare, American-made Zion Turbo Guitar Synth Controller, designed for the vintage 24-pin Roland Guitar synthesizer series, and build in the mid-nineteen eighties. This clip shows the Zion Turbo synth guitar with 24-pin vintage gear: the Roland GR-300, then GR-700, and finally a GM-70 driving a Roland XV-5080 with MIDI.
Nice ax!! I have a Zion Turbo without the synth controls and pickup and it is one solid instrument! I have had it since 1987 and it just keeps getting better with age. I had a chance to purchase the guitar like yours but didn't quite have the $ for the GM-70 and the guitar. Should have bought them both....Zion makes some top shelf instruments. I used a Radicaster with the newer guitar synth electronics and it was a perfect fit for me as a guitar and synth controller for the VG-88 and GI-20
