16-pin Guitar Connector and Cable Assembly for 13-pin Fender GC-1 or Roland-Ready Guitars

Drop-in replacement for 13-pin OEM or Synth-Linx connectors

Overview:

The 16-pin guitar connector with cable assembly is made by Synth-Linx and is a direct replacement for Synth-Linx 13-pin GK-3 internal installations in Fender GC-1 and Fender Roland-ready guitars. Please see separate listing for cable assemblies to be used in DIY installation.

​

Our 16-pin connectors provide essentially the same pin signals as the GK 13-pin connections, but with the Ground circuit assigned to one of the three extra pins. This provides more security than the standard Roland/BOSS GK-13 system where the Ground circuit is assigned to only  its outer case and cable screen.

The remaining two additional pins/channels are available for optional customization such as a 7th String signal, microphone audio, or the Paradis Polybass.

Our ultra-flexible, fully screened, 16-core cable provides extra hook-up points in our connector-and-cable assemblies to access customized  circuits between a guitar and other equipment.

Custom lengths are available upon special request.

Connector mounting plate Information (refer to image 2)

​​

SL16PDH and SL16PDV have the same diamond shape as Synth-Linx 13-pin connectors.

​

SL16PRH and SL16PRV have the same screw centers as the OEM curved plate in Roland Ready and Fender GC-1 guitars. These need to be pre-curved before mounting on the guitar.

You need M2.6 x 8 (black) self-tapping screws to attach it to the body, using the original holes in the guitar - these are so close to the edge of the main hole that you will split the wood if you try to ram in M3 screws.

​

SL16PRRR/C1H and SL16PRRR/C1V are QUITE A BIT bigger (by design) to cover situations where the original fixing holes in the RR /GC1 body have long since almost crumbled away because of the inherent lack of wood around them in the first place.

These larger plates are designed as the life-saving exercise to bring a RR/GC1 body back from almost the dead and make the whole situation workable again.   They are larger in two dimensions to cover up the previous mess.

They also need to be pre-curved before mounting in the guitar; since new screw holes need to be pre-drilled into the guitar to mount these larger plates, we can use M3 screws.
