DISC Fender Roland G-5A VG Stratocaster, Candy Apple Red

Full Description

Powered by Roland's COSM technology, the G-5A can sound like a number of other guitars, with instantly switchable tunings too, so you don't need to bring five different guitars to each gig.

Made in Fender®'s factory in Corona, California, the G-5A is a 100-percent authentic American Standard Stratocaster, with a 22-fret maple neck and rosewood fingerboard.

No more grasping for a different guitar in the middle of your set. The G-5A lets you instantly change your tone, with fingertip access to a collection of coveted vintage guitars. A selection of COSM-powered 'ideal performance' pickups give you a unique, modern edge for a diverse performance and at the end of the gig, you just pack up your Strat.

All your favourite guitars in one

Powered by Roland's COSM technology, the VG Stratocaster guitar gives you a collection of world-class tones, all in one instrument. Choose between 25 pickup and instrument tones, plus alternate tunings and 12-string sounds.

Change your guitar instantly

Play a wide range of modelled guitars including vintage Strat, Telecaster®, fat humbuckers and even an archtop jazz box. You also get unique, modern pickup sounds available only with COSM, including 'Wide Range' single-coil variations and two 'Bright Humbucker' options. Acoustic tones are available too, both steel and nylon-string, plus a retro electric sitar sound. Of course, you can always select the classic Strat pickups and use the G-5A as a conventional American Strat!

Change your tuning in a second!

Along with the great COSM guitars, the VG Stratocaster lets you change your tuning without touching the tuning keys! A quick twist of the tuning knob selects 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.
