An American Strat with high technology under the hood

The Roland G-5A VG Stratocaster has been developed in coordination with Fender, so you get all the classic Stratocaster sounds, playability, and functionality you'd expect. And this instrument is made in Fender's Corona, California factory, so you know its fit and finish is second-to-none. With its comfort-contoured alder body, fast maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and medium jumbo frets, three American Strat single-coil pickups, and American Standard Synchronized Trem, the G-5A 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 with instant alternate tunings and 12-string modes

The Roland G-5A 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! Sweetwater guitarists are head-over-heels for the G-5A VG Strat, and we're confident you will be, too.

Unleash studio magic with this axe

Of course the Roland G-5A 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-5A VG Stratocaster Features:
  • Classic American Strat, infused with COSM technology
  • Onboard modeled pickups (e.g., ultra-wide humbucker; 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
