Casio MG500 Midi guitar in good shape with tremolo bar and hardshell case - $400 I recently picked up a Casio PG380 so I no longer need my flagship midi guitar. I am selling a Casio Model MG500 in while with black pick guard and Rosewood neck. When I got it I had it set up by a local guitar tech who also installed a special wood jam in the tremolo bridge. This bridge limits the whammy bend so the unit stays in tune better and it's easily removable if you don't want it to make back to factory spec. The guitar itself was made by Ibanez (Hoshino for those in the know) in the 80s and it a 5 position three single coil strat type design with the third pickup also acting as a humbucker (with a dedicated switch). It is an *incredibly* nice and playable guitar in it's own right and is the BEST all-in-one midi guitar unit IMO thanks to Casio's unique design with includes all electronics in the guitar body itself. there is a single Midi out jack near the 1/4" out. There is no rack unit and no special pickup required. It spits velocity sensitive midi out right from the box including volume and program info. I'd give the guitar an 8 on a scale of 10 only because it is missing one screw and two rubber pads on the back. The dip switches all work 100% (one has the tip taken off but it's easily switchable with a screwdriver or pencil which you have to use anyway since they are so small). It is the weird spaceship MG500 design, much rarer than the standard Strat body MG510, and I have never seen another one in white (most are black). It has a nice weight and everything (including the midi out) works 100%. Collectable, playable, and just damn nice. I have one picture of the actual guitar here: http://www.helpwantedproductions.com/mg500.jpg (I can take more pictures if you'd like, just ask) More info on the capabilities of this guitar can be found at: http://jpsongs.com/troubadortech/casmgtr.htm It comes with a hardshell case (not insignificant as it doesn't fit most case designs due to it's weird shape) and I'm sure I have a copy of the manual and dip switch settings which allow you to do stuff like set each string to send a different midi channel etc. I will be posting this at a different price to the 'net at large so if you're interested please be sure to mention you're a member of LD. Price is firm but I will consider trades as well. Buyer pays shipping and any other fees (I accept paypal or USPS MO) Pickup in Phila PA also welcome.
