I just got a second Casio that needs some work so I am selling my better one... This is the model 510 all black Strat copy guitar in *excellent* shape. Unlike later 510 and 500 models this has more solid construction in the electronics (wired to use two 9vt batteries - Included:)), has two single coil and one humbucker EMG pickups (gold lettering -not OEM versions), and has one volume two tone knobs. The body and pickguard are jet black and the neck is Maple with rosewood 22-fret fingerboard; graphite low-friction nut. A real Black Beauty this instrument has never gigged and in fact has never left the studio where it has been sealed in the lined gig bag since I got it. For those that aren't aware of the Casio midi Guitar Pro series: The midi electronics and tracking are far superior to any of the Roland or Ibanez systems in my experience. It is the only system that uses a built in midi pickup and simply has a midi out coming out the bottom as opposed to all the GK whatever and esoteric cables of the other systems. It's simply Plug and play with midi. The Midi implementation is also top notch in features and construction. Some features: Octave Switch - small toggle with Normal, +1, -1 allows you to change octaves right from the guitar. midi Volume knob- Control right on the guitar that allows you to adjust the midi volume via CC message. 6 trimpots for tracking -(Adjusts each string individually) Program change messages - This is the coolest feature IMO. You toggle to program change mode and hit a note on one of the first four strings. Each fret corresponds to a specific program number so you can remotely change patchs on your midi synth or sound module. Mono/Poly mode - Allows you to set all strings to operate on one channel (you set it 1-16) or will let each string send info on successive midi channels allwoing you to control 6 different channels at once. (ie: First string send on channel 1, 2nd on channel 2, etc..) There is a lot more and I can send a graphic of the design and midi section if anyone is interested. Basically this is the nicest midi guitar I have seen and in particular this one is in top shape and is the better of the model 510s as well. It has a much better feel than the 500 I just got IMO and If you are familiar with these units then you know it is an excellent "analog" guitar as well. As a matter of fact I have used it for recording quite a bit without any midi at all. more info can be found at this link: http://people.delphi.com/johnpollock/casmgtr.htm I paid $400 plus shipping and that's what I'd like to get out of it. Given recent prices I've seen for lesser instruments in worse condition i believe that's pretty fair but I'll consider reasonable offers and certainly trades. A high quality felt lined gig bag is available separately as well. Will consider trades for small or esoteric items, Effects, synths, weird guitars, and the like. All deals must be confirmed via phone so send your # to speed things up if you'd like. Email with any questions or if you'd like to see the diagram. Thanks!
