Casio poured its consumer-electronics know-how into a molded plastic body housing an amplifier, a speaker, a distortion circuit and a fully integrated stereo cassette recorder\/player. In the Japanese domestic market it was sold under the nickname \"Eleking\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a guitar it is refreshingly simple - one humbucker, a volume knob, a fixed bridge and a maple neck - but the onboard cassette deck turns it into a self-contained practice and street-performance rig. You can play along with a tape, record your performance and monitor everything through the onboard speaker, all without a single cable. Power comes from six AA batteries or a 9V AC adaptor. This example wears the white finish and is complete with its Casio gig bag and Casio AC adaptor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e== SPECIFICATIONS ==\u003cbr\u003e- Model: EG-5 (\"Eleking\")\u003cbr\u003e- Year: 1980s\u003cbr\u003e- Country of Origin: Japan\u003cbr\u003e- Color: White\u003cbr\u003e- Body: Molded plastic, with built-in amplifier, speaker and cassette deck\u003cbr\u003e- Neck: Maple, bolt-on\u003cbr\u003e- Fingerboard: Maple\u003cbr\u003e- Pickup: One humbucker\u003cbr\u003e- Controls: Guitar volume knob, Main Volume slider, Guitar Mix slider, Drive slider, Distortion on\/off switch\u003cbr\u003e- Onboard Electronics: Amplifier, speaker, distortion, cassette recorder\/player\u003cbr\u003e- Power: Six AA batteries or 9V AC adaptor\u003cbr\u003e- Bridge: Six-saddle fixed bridge\u003cbr\u003e- Weight: 2.95 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e== CONDITION ==\u003cbr\u003eOverall: Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Body: Light marks and playwear consistent with age\u003cbr\u003e- Neck: Straight\u003cbr\u003e- Frets: Approximately 60-70% remaining\u003cbr\u003e- Electronics: All functions have been tested and work as intended, including the built-in amplifier, speaker, distortion and cassette deck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all photos carefully for the exact cosmetic condition.
