One of my favorite blogs, Retro Thing, has a post up on the Casio DG-10 Synth Guitar."Like the multitude of keyboards before it, the Casio DG-10 is all plastic (strings included), has a rubber fretboard, multiple instrument sounds, and drum rhythms. The strings don't need tuning as the guitar works on an interesting principle. Pressing on the frets of the rubber keyboard is what selects the notes. Strumming controls the amplitude. It's actually a clever system as it side-steps the expensive and unreliable pitch-to-MIDI circuitry of the day, and it still lets you perform slides and taps just like on a real electric guitar." click here for the full article.
