Casio EG-5 Cassette Player Built-In Speaker 1988 Metallic Grey Guitar Japan

This vintage Casio EG-5 guitar offers an incredible slice of late-eighties retro-futurism and integrated performance tech directly from the golden age of Japanese electronic engineering. Masterfully designed with a built-in monitor speaker and an integrated cassette tape player right on the body wing, this distinct instrument allows you to play along with your favorite cassette backing tracks, record ideas straight onto tape, or control playback speed via the onboard pitch slider. Sporting a fast maple neck and a clean single humbucking pickup layout, this iconic machine serves up a wealth of lo-fi production possibilities and unmistakable nostalgic flair.

As a premium vintage piece that has been fully restored by our workshop, this instrument is in remarkable operational condition with virtually zero fret wear across the fingerboard register. The metallic grey finish is remarkably clean, showing only light handling swirls, minor surface scuffs, and a small cosmetic gap along the edge of the original integrated speaker grill mesh as visible in the photos. This minor mesh imperfection is completely stable, structurally sound, and has absolutely no impact on the clear audio output of the internal speaker system. Our technical department has meticulously overhauled the cassette drive mechanisms, cleaned the internal pot traces, and fully detailed the hardware to guarantee flawless mechanical and electronic tracking.

Purchasing this fully restored collector piece from our physical inventory means you bypass the classic headaches of international customs delays, unpredictable import tariff conversions, and risky transoceanic shipping. Our team has fully inspected the structural alignment, polished the frets, and set the guitar up for optimal low-action playability right out of the box. The instrument ships fully tested and optimized for its next studio or collection destination.
