Fender VG Strat in Sunburst
The VG Stratocaster is a revolutionary instrument, all the grace and panache of the world famous Stratocaster with some great additions under the hood. This US built Strat features the same Alder Body, and Modern “c” shape maple neck of all the US Strats, and the same US Stratocaster pickups as all the US Strats…In fact this IS a US Strat. BUT the VG Strat also features a Roland VG Pickup which has some interesting capabilities, not only can you change the way the pickups work but you can also change the tuning without touching the tuning Pegs!
The Roland VG pickup works like the GK pickups popular in Rolands Synths, with this pickup it is possible to alter the signal path to some impressive ends. The pickup is controlled via two extra dials by the usual tone controls, the first dial Marked T (for tuning) has six positions to choose from, the first marked “N” means that you are using the guitars actual tuning with no alteration, the second position is marked “D”, when you switch to this the guitar is in Drop D tuning, the other positions are Open G, DADGAD, Baritone and Twelve String.
The next dial you come too changes the way the pickups work, you can switch through the US Strat pickups, Telecaster pickups, Humbucking pickups and an acoustic guitar simulator.
