In his latest video, David Hilowitz offers his take on the Casio DG-20, an ’80s guitar synthesizer.
It’s an example of Casio’s ’80s pro-sumer style instruments.
As Hilowitz notes, the Casio DG-20 is fun, but not a great instrument. He’s also shared a free virtual instrument, based on the sounds of the DG-20.

i don’t want to play a B-2 Bomber shaped guitar.
I’m sure this could find a happy place in an avant-Eno studio, where occasional experiments with oddball fringe items can lead to good results. Its also a great example of a swing-&-miss 80s instrument that was never fully fish nor fowl.
I got major use from a CZ-101, so I have some Casio luv. This was just premature. If it had baked a little longer and ended up tougher, it might have become a serious keeper.
