I’ve wanted one of the old Casio guitars for a while now. I love the style — it would complement my fretless Steinberger bass well.

If you put it onto the organ mode whilst plugged into midi, then the notes sustain.

So it doesn’t sustain midi notes with external synth/samplers when holding down the frets?

I have one of these that a keyboard playing friend got from another friend. It’s a fun toy but really not any better at triggering a synth than my Roland GR synths. Coordination between the picking hand and fretting hand seems to be the key in both. Also I notice when I use the internal sounds they can sustain for as long as you hold the note down but when controlling a midi synth they only sustain for a couple seconds.

Wow. Until I came across this article I had not thought about this Casio “guitar” for years. I remember it was available in the toy section of Emporium — a now defunct CA department store chain. There was one available for demo at the end of an aisle. I had just recently started playing real guitar and recall how rubbery and fake the strings were and how it took a while for the sound to register after striking the strings. Does anyone recall how much it cost new?

I had one of these Casio DG-20 synths (briefly) in the late ’80s; first of all, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but by 1987 the “Disco Age” was wa-ay over. That moment could possibly be ascribed to the mid-to-late 1970s, and while discos still had big business into the 1980s, that “era” was pretty much over. The 1980s was characterized with a return to BIG rock, with bands such as Van Halen, AC/DC, Ozzy, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Poison and various other huge “hair bands” dominated the FM airwaves, and the early Rap stars such as Run DMC and LL Cool J were developing that genre. Synths were far from being identified with “Disco” by 1987, as the adventurous sound explorations of Peter Gabriel and Frank Zappa using the Fairlight and Synclavier respectively attest to. In fact, Roland’s guitar synths were already well-placed in the musician’s market, as such decidedly non-Disco guitarists such as John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny used various synth controllers for guitars (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr78ISrTElE).
Now, back to the Casio attempt: It fairly sucked – not by virtue of it’s sounds, which were pretty usable, but the triggering and latency, along with the quite alien feel of the rubberized “strings” made the rather cool-looking (admit it – is seems to be based on Darth Vader’s helmet!) rather useless as a usable stage or recording instrument. Nothing to do with Disco in 1987, though…

The Flight of the Conchords not only use, but name check the Casio DG-20 Electric Guitar in one of their songs…..set to mandolin.

Thanks for covering the DG20! I’ve been on a quest for one for a while and finally managed to snag one in 2015, for a decent price. As odd as they seem, you can do some cool things with them and running the DG20 sounds through effects really adds depth to them. From Flight of the Conchords rhythm beats to an OK-sounding Hammond organ patch, it can really shine, in the right situation.

Looking at it through contemporary eyes, it looks like a “stealth” guitar!
