Thrift Store Find, an old Gvox Guitar Pickup from the 90s
I saw this old Gvox Guitar Pickup at a thrift store for $3USD and I had to pick it up. It says it works well on Acoustic as well, so that is why I posted it here!
This thing seems to remind me of the newer Roland GK-2 pickups that are sometimes found on a Fender Strat. I was wondering if someone knew more about this unit? Is it an older form of a MIDI pickup? Or is it something else? Also, is it possible to use this on a modern computer by using a Serial Connector to USB? Or do I need to pull out my 20 year old laptop to run this? Thanks! Any help on this weird piece of tech would be appreciated!

Odd that something from the 90's is now considered 'old'. I have socks that predate that pickup.
Seems I recall the interface goes to something like a 13 pin synth. Not a computer.

Well it shows a photo of a computer on the front cover and it has a serial port and has computer software. So I know it does run on a computer.
But will it work if I use a GR-1 and then I do not need a computer?
