Anyone on here doing a MIDI guitar thing with a Roland GK-2 pickup or
similar?

I know of someone selling a GK-2 pickup for a good price and I'm
wondering what the cheapest way to convert GK-2 output to MIDI?

There are GM-70's on eBay but I don't think they work with the GK-2
pickup, only the GK-1. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.

GM-70 needs the GK-1 or an older roland guitar (G-202/303/505 or 808)

I have a guitar with a GK-3 pickup, yes.

Not the cheapest, but the best (judging from a lot of magazine reviews)
is the Axon converter [1] (now sold by Terratec). I've seen a demo of
this thing at this year's Musikmesse, it's amazing.

you're right about that. However, the GM-70 also works with any
Roland guitar controller designed to work with the GR-300 and GR-700
floor modules (G-303, G-505, G-808, G-707).

I have a GK-1/GM-70 setup in my studio, and for older technology it
works very well for inputting MIDI stuff in songs. In fact I tend to use
it with synth plug-ins, as I find that these have lower latency.

You might find a Roland GR-09 cheap. Not a great or flexible synth, but
works fine as a MIDI convertor for a GK-2.
