Here's a rare early guitar synth, perhaps one of the first systems not to use a real-guitar but a guitar-style interface. Note that this Oncor Sound LGS Touch 6000 Guitar Synthesizer doesn't actually feature any real strings. The eBay seller claims that: "Everything works fine, we had a lot of fun testing this out, all those knobs and switches make for endless tone combinations. All features work perfectly just as they should."
Currently being offered for sale on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $899.99 which seems quite reasonable for such a rare instrument in good condition, although, of course, I cannot vouch for how playable it actually is.

- Roland Gr500 Guitar Synth With Gs500 Guitar Controller, Circa 1977
guitarz.blogspot.com: Often incorrectly cited as the "world's first guitar synth" (it wasn't - the Innovex "Condor GMS" system predates it by seven years), the Roland GR500 guitar synth and GS500 guitar controller was certainly a first for Roland....
