The Casio company of Tokyo, Japan began producing keyboards in 1980. By the late 1980s, Casio unveiled the angular model MG-500 and vaguely Fenderish MG-510 electric guitars that could also be used as controllers by sending MIDI information. In 1988, Casio introduced the PG-380, a strat-styled guitar with an on-board synthesizer as well as a MIDI port. The PG-380 also has a companion module that takes up two rack spaces, and offers extra processing facilities.
Casio also produced a number of guitar-shaped "Digital Guitars" in 1987. The DG10 is more self-contained, while the DG20 can send processing information to an external synthesizer. Both models have plastic bodies, plastic strings and a number of buttons and built-in features.
