"Very Rare Maestro Woodwind Synth for Woodwinds & Guitar.The unit also comes with an original Maestro carrying case with John Klemmer's name on it. It was used on several recording sessions in the 70s and will come with a letter from Mr Klemmer. It was designed in the early days of effect pedals / devices as a primitive synthesizer for woodwind instruments but can be used with guitars with no problem at all."

Casio PG 380 Synth Guitar

via this auction

Details:
"The PG-380 electronics include a built-in, monotimbral, playback-only synthesizer using VZ technology, with 64 preset sounds in internal ROM (See the above website for a listing of all the sounds). However, a door on the back of the guitar allows insertion of a RAM card for playback of sounds created on a VZ-1, VZ-8M, or VZ-10M.

The internal synth does offer one useful feature: It operates in legato mode. That is, while in chromatic mode, if you pick a fretted string and then slide your finger up the fretboard, you won't get a new attack from the synth at each fret, as you will with an external MIDIed synth."
