…and so much more
Listing all of the G-70’s advantages and functions
would take
another ten pages,
while you
must be
dying
to put
it through
its paces.
That is why
we would
like to
ask you to read this manual from cover to cover. You’ll
find that the G-70 is quite unlike any other instrument
you know.
Have fun!
