Roland G-5 VG Stratocaster at a Glance:
  • It's a Strat
  • Sharpen your performance
  • Unleash studio magic

It's a Strat
The Roland G-5 VG Stratocaster has been developed in coordination with Fender, so you get all the classic Stratocaster sounds, playability, and functionality you'd expect. With its comfort-contoured alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, three single-coil pickups, and vintage-style Synchronized Trem, the G-5 VG is pure Stratocaster. The only inkling that there's high-technology lurking under the bonnet is the (barely-noticeable) Roland divided pickup sitting at the bridge and a pair of small control knobs.

Sharpen your performance
The Roland G-5 VG Stratocaster modeling guitar puts performance perfection within reach. Now you don't have to stop the show to go into an alternate tuning. Any tuning you want is just a pinky-twist away. Want a 12-string for the chorus? You got it. How about that big-strum acoustic in the bridge? Done!

Unleash studio magic
Of course the Roland G-5 VG Stratocaster's sonic versatility will be just as valuable to you in the studio. Think of the look on the faces of your bandmates when you unexpectedly unleash full-on full-on gainiac mayhem in the solo section of the song for which you're laying down rhythm tracks. And they expected you to record the solo as an overdub!

Roland G-5 VG Stratocaster Features:
  • Classic Stratocaster - infused with COSM technology
  • Modeled pickups onboard
  • Unique pickups such as ultra-wide humbucker and full, bold single coil
  • Instantly accessible alternate tunings and 12-string sounds through COSM guitar tones
  • Simple and easy operation based on the Stratocaster design concept
  • 22-fret neck with medium jumbo frets
  • American inline tuning keys

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
