One Strat, 37 Different Guitar Sounds!
Wouldn't it be nice to flip a switch on a Stratocaster® and, all of a sudden, be in an alternate tuning? Wouldn't it be nice to turn a knob on its pickguard and suddenly have a clear acoustic guitar sound, the roar of a humbucking pickup, the signature snap of a Telecaster®, or the lush fullness of a 12-string? It's all possible with the remarkable FENDER® VG Stratocaster!

Fender VG Stratocaster at a Glance:
  • 37 different guitar sounds from a single instrument
  • First and foremost, it's a real Strat
  • New sounds from Roland GK pickup and technology
  • Mode Control knob serves up five different guitar models
  • Tuning Function knob provides five alternate tunings
  • Balanced tone and volume across all models and tunings
  • A remarkably simple and versatile guitar

37 different guitar sounds from a single instrument
That's the idea behind the Fender VG Strat®: a single, incredibly versatile instrument that delivers 37 serious Stratocaster®, Telecaster, humbucking, 12-string, and acoustic sounds, plus five alternate tunings, all at the simple flip of a switch or the twist of a knob - and all in the gracefully familiar form of the Stratocaster®.

First and foremost, it's a real Strat
The VG Strat® features that classic sleek, contoured body shape, three American Series single-coil pickups with 5-position switching, a maple neck (with available maple or rosewood fingerboards), a synchronized tremolo bridge, a 3-ply parchment pickguard, and chrome hardware. In other words, it's a Strat in every sense of the word, with all the magic intact.

New sounds from Roland GK pickup and technology
But two additional knobs on the VG Strat's pickguard - plus a small LED and an inconspicuous Roland GK bridge pickup - bring with them some new magic. These two knobs, a Mode Control knob and a Tuning Function knob, serve up incredible and seemingly endless new sonic possibilities.

Mode Control knob serves up five different guitar models
The Mode Control knob governs five distinct modeling modes: Normal, Modeled Stratocaster, Telecaster, Humbucking Pickups, and acoustic. In Normal mode, the VG Strat's three single-coil pickups bypass the VG circuit, for a straight Stratocaster guitar sound.

Tuning Function knob provides five alternate tunings
The Tuning Function knob lets you choose among five alternate tunings: Normal, Drop D, Open G, D Modal, and Baritone, plus a 12-string sound. And since you don't have to turn a single tuning key, a major benefit of all these instant tuning changes is that the string tension remains the same and the VG Strat itself feels the same.

Balanced tone and volume across all models and tunings
Even better, the VG Stratocaster delivers level, balanced tone and volume across all these remarkable functions, so that you don't need to continually readjust amp settings with each change in guitar sound.

A remarkably simple and versatile guitar
Fender knew that keeping the VG Stratocaster simple and intuitively useful was the way to go. So they kept it pared down to the essentials, making it easy to pick up and play. So even though the VG Strat is a technological marvel, you don't need a thick owner's manual to get started making great music!


Fender VG Stratocaster Features:
  • American Series Strat body and neck
  • 37 different guitar models including Telecaster, acoustic, 12-string, and humbucking
  • Five alternate tunings with no change in string tension
  • Three single-coil pickups plus a Roland GK pickup
  • Simple, intuitive interface

The Fender VG Stratocaster is a tone monster in a familiar body!
