"Super Versatile Guitar"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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.

Ill be giving this to my son when im 70.
Sound
Some veteran guitarists may think "digital technology (the Roland pickup) will never replace a good ole Tele, ect." But im telling you, i own this guitar and it is amazing! it really does sound just like an acoustic, you could get on stage and play anything!
Features
Most strats have 2 tone controls, but the VG only has one, but its a great piece of wood so it sounds awesome anyway, i dont even need the 1 tone control that it has, just keep at 10 and youre good to go
Ease of Use
doesnt really even take 5 minutes to do the tune settings and mode selections
Quality
i ordered it from zzounds and it was in great shape right out of the case, strings were on, action was set, all i had to do was put it in tune (and to my surprise, 4 AA batteries were included!)
Value
Yes, once you have this guitar, theres no need for any other guitars.
