Up for sale is a Casio EG-5 electric guitar in good working condition. While I have rated the overall condition as fair, this is primarily because the original cassette player and battery compartment functionality have been removed. Cosmetically and structurally, the guitar remains in good to very good condition for its age.
The Casio EG-5 is a unique and collectible electric guitar, well known for its built-in amplifier and innovative design. This example is ideal for players looking for a fun, playable instrument or enthusiasts interested in restoring or modifying it.
Condition
The guitar shows normal cosmetic wear expected for a vintage instrument, including scratches and minor signs of use. It remains structurally solid with no major issues.
Please note:
- The original Casio logo and EG-5 model print have faded over time, but are still faintly visible as shown in the photos.
- The original cassette player has been removed.
- Battery operation has also been removed.
- The guitar is powered via a 9V DC adapter, which has been tested and works perfectly.
Electronics & Functionality
Everything currently installed has been tested and is fully functional.
- Built-in amplifier works perfectly.
- Guitar output and all controls function as intended.
- Cassette player has been removed.
- Battery operation has been removed.
- Powers up reliably using a 9V DC adapter.

Ideal For

- Someone who enjoys restoration projects and wishes to reinstall an original cassette player and battery system.
- Guitar modders looking to install a modern rechargeable lithium battery setup or customise the electronics while retaining the unique built-in amplifier.
Whether you choose to restore it to its original specification or turn it into a unique custom project, the EG-5 offers plenty of possibilities.
