Roland VG circuitry. 16 sounds from humbucking to acoustic. 5 tuning banks.

Fender and Roland team up once again to bring you the revolutionary new VG Stratocaster guitar.

It's an incredibly versatile instrument that gives you 37 different Stratocaster, Telecaster, humbucking, 12-string and acoustic sounds, plus 5 alternate tunings, all at the simple flip of a switch or twist of a knob. It all comes in the gracefully familiar form of an American Series Stratocaster, and it’s designed to deliver each sound with level, balanced tone and volume—no need to readjust your amp settings with each change in guitar sound.

It’s a classic Strat in every sense of the word, with a lot of extra magic, too.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I love playing this guitar. Before church starts, I can put in drop D and play some rock through the humbucker setting. For the opening hymn, I switch it back to Strat or acoustic and it sounds sweet and clean.
Sound
Sounds like a regular Strat with the Roland turned off, and sounds like a Strat, Tele, Les Paul, and acoustic with the Roland on. Each of these has multiple tunings that are very easy to select.
Features
The Roland pickup is amazing. My church bought this guitar for the praise band and I play it almost every Sunday. I really love the humbucker setting--it really feels and sounds like some powerful humbuckers.
Ease of Use
Straight-forward, easy knobs to select tunings and guitar models. No buttons or digital/LCD displays--just turn the knob where you want it.
Quality
It's a Fender. Fit and finish are superb. Neck and frets are smooth and easy to play.
Value
It is expensive, but when compared to buying all the guitars that this guitar replaces, it is a good value.
Manufacturer Support
Have not had to deal with manufacturer.
The Wow Factor
The Stratocaster style is the most mimicked body in the industry. It's great.
