The VG Stratocaster (designed by Fender and Japanese synthesizer giant Roland) is an American Series virtual modeling guitar with a Roland VG pickup and two extra knobs for Tuning Function Control (5 Rotary Positions) and Mode Control (5 Rotary Modes), offering 37 different Stratocaster, Telecaster, humbucking, 12-string and acoustic sounds, plus five alternate tunings, all at the simple flip of a switch or twist of a knob. The VG Stratocaster has been introduced in 2007 and endorsed by Fender guitar clinicians Greg Koch and Jeff Kollman.

[edit] Tunings/Options/Modes

The new Fender VG Stratocaster allows you to bring only one guitar when you're on the road or gigging. With a flick of a switch, you can surf between 6 different tunings, without manually tuning your guitar yourself. Standard, Open G, Drop D, DADGAD, Baritone, and 12-String. It also allows for you to switch between classic Fender sounds, such as Stratocaster, Telecaster, Humbucking pick-ups, and acoustic sounds. These versatile options are designed to deliver each sound with level, balanced tone and volume, so you'll never have to fidgit with your amp again.

The VG runs on a regular guitar cable and four AA batteries, and in the rare case that your batteries start running out, the blue flashing light located next to your control panel tells you.
