The Boss EURUS GS-1 Black masterfully combines the familiar sounds of a 6-string guitar with the almost limitless sonic possibilities of a synthesizer. This hybrid guitar, developed by the Japanese effects giant Boss, allows seamless switching between both sound worlds. With its custom-designed EURUS humbuckers and high-quality Gotoh hardware, it stands confidently alongside conventional electric guitars. The EURUS GS-1 also excels in synth mode, offering latency-free sounds and extensive editing options via the GS-1 Editor smartphone app. Each EURUS GS-1 comes with a premium Boss CB-EG10 gig bag.
To retain the feel of a traditional electric guitar, the Boss EURUS GS-1 uses classic materials and a proven construction. The ergonomically shaped double-cut body is made of resonant alder and features a maple neck attached with a traditional four-bolt joint. This neck has a slim C-profile for precise playability across the 24-fret Indian rosewood fingerboard.
For expressive guitar tones, the pickup setup features two custom-designed EURUS humbuckers wound specifically for this model. Controlled via Volume and Tone knobs, the dual coils produce a wide range of sounds, from transparent cleans and light crunch to rich distortion suitable for rock and metal, selectable via the five-way switch.
With the EURUS GS-1, Boss combines 40 years of effects expertise with modern technology to create a smooth transition between guitar and synthesizer. Played through the Synth Out, the GS-1 delivers nearly latency-free performance and precise tracking, even for demanding techniques such as tapping and sweep picking.
Designed for modern studios, stages, and living rooms, the synth guitar provides multiple interfaces for device connectivity. On-board controls include a Synth Control Knob and a Memory Knob with six selectable presets. The GS-1 Editor app for iOS and Android unlocks deep-level editing, allowing real-time control of individual parameters. Optional Boss EV-1-WL Wireless Expression Pedal support and a USB port for firmware updates add even more flexibility.
