Fender VG Stratocaster

 
   As far as I'm concerned,  Roland's "Virtual Guitar" technology has finally come of age with the introduction of the new VG Strat from Fender.  I can see everyone from hard working bar bands to elite studio musicians utilizing this very powerful tone generator! 

    The Fender Musical Instrument Company got together with the Roland Corporation and combined an American Standard Strat ... that warhorse of every gig from Warsaw to Wisconsin to Winnipeg ... with the best sounds from the powerful Virtual Guitar arsenal ... and created a monster of a guitar!!!

     Of course the foundation of this entire guitar is the tried-and-true American Standard Strat with it's contoured alder body,  American made Strat pickups and comfortable modern C-shape neck with Medium Jumbo frets and rolled fingerboard edges.  Even if your battery dies,  you left your spares at home and a crazed fan takes a blow torch to the VG circuitry,  you've still got a working Strat for the gig!  Add five Virtual Guitar modes (Normal, Modeled Strat, Tele, Humbuckers & Acoustic) and you have the guitar that does everything you've dreamed of!   Add five Tuning Banks (Normal, Drop D, Open G, Modal D, Baritone & 12-string) and things REALLY get insane!!!

Five Guitar Tone Banks 

1/ Normal (N): In this non-modeling mode, your guitar uses it's three standard Strat pickups only and plays like a standard Stratocaster®guitar.

2/ Modeled Stratocaster (S): In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the sound of a slightly different Stratocaster tone, but with some new possibilities. You now have the option of a 12-string sound or several different alternate tunings .

3/ Telecaster (T): In this modeling mode, the guitar plays with the
sound of a Telecaster guitar. The 'snap' of the bridge position, the
'chirp' of the middle position, it's all there. And of course there's the
option of the 12-string sound and the alternate tunings.

4/ Humbucking Pickups (H): In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the sound of two high output humbucking pickups; one in the neck position and one in the bridge position. This is the mode where you’ll find that oh-so desirable warm, full tone you’d expect from high end humbucking pickups.

5/ Acoustic (A): In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the
warm, full sound of an acoustic guitar. In this position the blade
switch switches between various acoustic tones from the warmth of
a dreadnought to the bright, cutting sound of a resonator’s smooth
bluesy twang.

(D G D G B D).
