DISC Fender Roland G5-A VG Stratocaster Guitar, Candy Apple Red

Full Description

The G-5A guitar gives you the ability to completely change your tone at a moment's notice, with easy access to a library of coveted vintage instruments, plus a selection of COSM-powered 'ideal performance' pickups that deliver a unique, modern edge. To top it off, alternate tunings and 12-string sounds are instantly available for any COSM guitar tone, all with a simple twist of a knob! Along with the great COSM instruments, the VG Stratocaster gives you the ability to change your tuning without touching the tuning keys. With any COSM tone, a quick twist of the Tuning knob lets you dial up Drop D, DADGAD, Baritone, or Open G tunings. Also available via the Tuning knob are 12-string tones, which can be applied to any COSM guitar sound.

Using the VG Stratocaster's five-way pickup selector and Mode knob, you can access a wide range of modelled tones, including vintage Strat, Telecaster®, fat humbuckers, and even an archtop jazz box. Also onboard are unique, modern pickup sounds realised with COSM, including 'Wide Range' single-coil variations and two 'Bright Humbucker' options. Steel and nylon string acoustic tones are available as well, plus a neat, retro electric sitar sound. Of course, you can always dial up the built-in single-coil pickups and use the VG Stratocaster as a conventional guitar, bypassing the COSM section entirely.
