Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 13-pin cable that connects a GK-equipped guitar or divided pickup to a Roland guitar synth or modeling unit. Buy it if you have that gear.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players running a GK-3 pickup into a GR-series or VG unit
- Replacing a worn or intermittent 13-pin cable on an existing rig
- Pedalboard layouts needing 15 ft of reach from guitar to floor unit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without 13-pin gear on both ends — it does nothing else
- Standard guitar-to-amp use; it is not a 1/4 in instrument cable
- Short bedroom runs where 15 ft is excess cable to manage
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
15 ft length
Enough to stand comfortably from a floor unit. Long enough for a small stage; coil the slack rather than stretch it.
Detail 03
Locking collar
The connector screws down at each end, so a foot snag pulls the cable, not the pins, out of alignment.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears on a dark stage and against a black pedalboard, which matters when it is the thickest cable in the run.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm both your guitar pickup and your unit use 13-pin, not 24-pin or proprietary
- 02Cable only — no pickup, mounting hardware, or adapters included
- 03Do not force the connector; align the keyway and thread the collar by hand
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my GK-3 pickup?
Yes. The GK-3 uses a 13-pin output, and this is the matching 13-pin cable. Screw the collar down at both ends.
02Can I use it as a regular guitar cable?
No. The connector is 13-pin, not 1/4 in, so it will not plug into a normal amp or pedal input.
03Is 15 ft long enough for stage use?
For most small and mid-size stages, yes. If you roam wide or the unit sits in a rack offstage, look for a longer run.
04Does a longer 13-pin cable hurt the signal?
At 15 ft, no meaningful loss. Problems in 13-pin rigs usually trace to a damaged connector or loose collar rather than length.
