If you fancy owning a piece of synth history, here's your chance. Not only is the Yamaha GX-1 one of the rarest, most coveted synthesizers money can buy, a polyphonic analogue behemoth that marked the company's first entry into the the synth market, but this particular, custom-modded GX-1 happens to have been owned by none other than Aphex Twin.
The predecessor to the iconic Yamaha CS-80, the GX-1 was released in 1973, and fetched $60,000 on launch - close to $450k in today's money. Estimates suggest that fewer than 100 were ever manufactured, and even fewer made it out of Japan. With a triple-tiered keyboard, pedalboard, ribbon controller, and programmer module joined by two speakers and a chrome-plated pedestal, the GX-1 wouldn't look out of place on the deck of the Millennium Falcon.
