Offering more knobs and switches than you can shake a stick at, the MCI Guitorgan was invented by Bob Murrell and was intended mimic an organ. This is a rare and cool piece.When it comes to unique guitars, the Guitorgan is about as individualistic as it gets. While the Guitorgan wasn’t overly popular, it does serve its place in guitar history as being innovative and I view it as a frontrunner to the synthesizer craze of the early eighties. I’ll give you a little history on the Guitorgan, how it works and what these guitars are selling for today.The Guitorgan was created when inventor Bob Murrell wanted a guitar that could also produce Hammond organ-type sounds. He started a company called Murrell Electronics to produce this guitar, which later evolved into Musiconics International (MCI). Murrell began working with Baldwin to develop the organ circuitry for his guitar; Baldwin in turn used Murrell’s knowledge of the industry to learn guitar marketing concepts when they began importing Burns guitars into the U.S. during the late 1960s. The first Guitorgan was introduced at the 1967 Chicago NAMM show and early production began in the same year. By 1968, a production factory was opened for the Guitorgan. Commercially, it wasn’t very popular, but Murrell sold enough instruments to remain interested in the concept and he continued to modify and release updated versions of his guitar/organ through the eighties.DOES NOT HAVE THE CHORD
