Boss introduced their part guitar, part synthesizer EURUS GS-1 way back in 2021 for $2,199. If you’ve been thinking about getting one, it’s currently on sale at the very steep sale price of $999 right now over at Sweetwater.
First and foremost, the EURUS GS-1 is a guitar. It has an Alder body with a “C” shape bolt-on Maple neck and an Indian Rosewood fretboard with 24 Jumbo frets. The EURUS GS-1 has the EURUS Humbucker in both the bridge and neck position, and features a Gotoh two-point tremolo bridge and locking machine heads. It’s a guitar. You can certainly play it like one and it’ll certainly sound like one through all your gear.
Then there’s the synthesizer side of the EURUS GS-1. The EURUS GS-1 comes with a synth engine loaded with six onboard memories filled with ready-to-play sounds, as well as access to infinitely more options thanks to the GS-1 Editor app. The app is available for iOS and Android mobile devices, meaning you can program your guitar synth sounds right on your phone via Bluetooth.
You can also assign sounds to the EURUS GS-1‘s synth control knob and save your favorite sound combinations on your device for quick loading before performances. Get it here.
