If it’s truly convincing solo lead lines that you’re after, though, there are better options.

GS-2 is a far more capable instrument than its predecessors, with an improved palette of sounds and effects, and the same excellent ability to translate the keyboard to the fretboard. We also found that using a longer keyboard made GS-2 that much easier to play. GS-2’s new effects do a pretty good job, and the Amplifier is OK for bright, fizzy tones however, pairing GS-2’s Electric with a dedicated guitar amp sim gives much more convincing results. With a huge collection of acoustic and electric guitars, automatic chord recognition, sophisticated chord voicing, integrated strumming and picking action, MIDI riff library, amp, and effects, playing guitar on a keyboard has never been so easy.
