i just checked my midi guitar bookmarks and all the g10 links are no
longer active.
try putting the question up on the midiguitar yahoo group list as well
as analogue heaven and looper's delight. lots's of guitar synthesists
there, especially looper's delight.
jeez, it's hard to find much on this thing. i've been looking for awhile
and this is what i've come up with:

i have an electronic musician dec.88 issue with a craig anderton review.
he does mention being "paranoid about any cable that cannot be
duplicated from parts available at radio shack" and only describes it as
a multi conductor cord.
how many pins and what kind of configuration on the g10 port? i don't
doubt you could likely make a cord, but i don't think you could plug
directly into a midi module. you'll have to track down a g10c. here's a
couple links to craig anderton's sss forum. they're old links so i don't
know how active the forum is these days.
