The 13 pin pickup is not really a standard midi pickup. I have on one of guitars a Roland GK-2A which works fine with my VG-88, but it wouldn't work using a synthesizer, for example.

Correct. At least, not without an additional cable. The GI-20 I use actually has a USB connection and the computer sees it as a MIDI in. No standard MIDI connection needed. But to trigger the sound module on a synthesizer (or any MIDI compatable keyboard) you must connect a MIDI (5-pin) cable from the GI-20 (or GR-33, or VG-88, etc) to the keyboard. Your guitar would then play the sounds that are contained within the synthesizer/ keyboard. But Bern is correct that the 13-pin cable from the GK pickup is not a standard MIDI cable.
