Eric Clapton's use of the 1987 Casio PG-380 MIDI Guitar can be traced back to his interest in guitar synthesizers for creative inspiration. In a 1985 interview with Dan Forte, Clapton discussed how switching guitars helped him overcome creative blocks, specifically mentioning his use of a Roland guitar synthesizer during the recording of his album Behind the Sun. This approach underscores his openness to incorporating innovative technology, such as the Casio PG-380, into his music.
