It's one of the Roland GR guitar synth ones in the Strat style. It's not an M, but a G reversed next to an R.

Most likely it's a G-505, and may have had the stock regular pickups modified by the looks of things.

Here's a similar one up close. Note the body shape:

It can be used as a normal guitar or as a synth controller, and both sounds could be played at once. Here's more info:

Neal is a longtime user of the Roland Guitar Synth technology back to the late 70s.

There's your exact guitar G-505 and paint Job owned by Neal, and it acknowledges the pickup change.

anyway...

The Schon Guitars that he was using for the ROR tour were kind of nice, too bad they weren't around for long.

I'll never forget that Roland synth-guitar he used to play that had that weird angled thingy going from the top of the body to the neck. That thing sounded great, but just looked too damn futuristic. I guess fitting for the band.

If your interest is in Neal’s gear, you probably want to contact Al. At times, he sells some of Neal’s “retired” guitars. http://www.bananas.com/articledetail.as ... -NAMM-2006
