What's with all the tone-control etc. knobs? One for each string + volume?

Looks like a guitar from an old Sears catalogue!

 

Our Alex was always on the cutting edge

 

It was a Roland GR 500 .. one of the first attempts at a synth guitar

 

This first pic is great - sorry I cannot find it any larger

Here's the GR 500 with it's original pickup .. seems Alex swapped out the original for a humbucker

hey man there has to be at least one knob turned up to 11...even though it does nothing. All that knobbery and he's still just playing a basic barre chord. roland obviously doesn't understand that a guitarists right hand is busy enough...which is why we let the feet do some work instead.

That looks like the F# sus chord that opens Book II

 

Alex probably just put that humbucker in, bypassing everything but the volume knob !!!
