What guitar is this?

[Mr. Scar]

Can you help me identify this guitar? It's being played by Adrian Belew in the old days of King Crimson

It's a Guitar/controller made for the early 80s Roland Guitar Synths. Not positive, but the model number is probably GR 808.

Well I'm a little surprised
Mr Belew himself emailed me back

"that was a Roland guitar to mate with the GR-300 synthe.
later I put a gold Kahler tremelo on it
and gave it to robert fripp as a gift.
his first tremelo.

cheers,
adrian"
