    SOUNDS

    This guitar can play sounds really diffrent without changing its Manir play. Trs sound bold for HH, or his foil in the stratum. The numrisation also allows to Wipe grsillement electromagntique can be submitted at while recording.
    Trs more importantly, the tuning Systm. it can drop in to agree, but also in modal baritone which is a bonus monster. numrisation the 12-string is also trsraliste.
    I cheat a can for model amp because I use a line6 Vetta II which allows me to have all the sound I want!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for four months, I find this guitar like a Fender and Roland Russianness for returning to the field of numrique o dj Line6 had dvor the market. I think the fans will not be the fender by MODEL trs well finished with quality sound without Previous to a single instrument.
    A BMOL which does not allow me to give up, a battery operation that runs out rather quickly. galemenent Lumire blue and a really strong for a concert. inaperu it does not live for a black scne!
    For the price, it's an excellent quality price 2200 euros.

    UTILIZATION

    I own a Gibson Les Paul Standard and a custom 62 reissue Telecaster Japanese, I needed to be a tad more versatile guitar with a vibrato.
    My dream would have been a Les Paul Goldtop P90 and 56 equipped with a Bigsby vibrato (too expensive and too untraceable .. € 4500 and still counting).
    I also have a soft spot for TV DUSENBERG Starpayer also equipped with a bigsby type tremolo.
    The Telecaster Deluxe 72 with vibrato me also winks .... but made in Mexico .... no thank you.
    From link to link, bench tests testbeds I fell on the VG Stratocaster and have discovered its possibilities without knowing its price.
    I must confess that I felt no great love for the Stratocaster .... up there!

    And I took the risk to my eyes was ordered because they are no longer manufactured (since April 2009 he seems), and I found a amazing price ... New € 900 instead of 2300 € ..... the numbers speak for themselves.

    It is simply a killing that guitar.
    I use at home to making models in a studio environment, and of course to repeat in coming LIVE complement of my other guitars.

    The handle is very close to my Les Paul and my telecaster and I&#39;m happy, very pleasant to the touch with access to the acute facility Myself ... now we can say that the game is easy on the EU compared to the 2 others.
    It takes less tuning ... probably due to vibrato .... I hate to mount it delivered 9-42 10-46 because it is a bit lightweight.
    Access to volume and tone knobs are very easy too see it happen to me down the volume by accident.
    Finally the 2 small switches (type of tuning and type of guitar) are very discreet and demands attention when handling ... they are incremented.

    the different type of tuning and are bleufant magnifque ... long live the slide
    he did the same with the guitars modeled.


    SOUNDS

    The VG Stratocaster is a U.S. Standard Stratocaster, which was reported fairly discreet microphone Roland and all the electronics that goes with it.

    A first knob used to select the type of tuning
    N = normal
    D = rè.la.rè.sol.si.mi
    G = open floor (rè.sol.rè.sol.si.rè)
    d = reg modal (rè.la.rè.sol.la.rè)
    B = baritone (si.mi the rè.fa #. If) Ideal for metal, the atmosphere heavy and dark.
    12 = 12 strings ... sublime

    the second selects the guitars modeled for knob

    N = normal stratocaster .... ... the technology is at rest roland
    S = stratocaster ... we can then exploit the different type of tuning.
    T = telecaster
    H = humbucker
    A = acoustic
    that this works is the strat-consuming batteries (4LR6) empty in a few hours of play
    I quickly invested in a magazine that I ride with the guitar (4 batteries in the guitar and 4 more in the charger and never be stuck ... expect to fifteen euros).
    I would not return on different types of tunings that I find it perfect ... pity there have no more.
    I sometimes play regularly slide is really bluffing
    adjusted 12-string you&#39;re on your ass ... excuse me.
    Modelled on the guitar I can speak objectively because I have a few.

    * First, the Stratocaster is modeled as it is a stratocaster?? weird ... is not simply to access different tunings: the switch has five positions.

    * The telecaster (T) is very successful, we perceive the twang ... Soft neck position (neck), snapping and incisive in bridge position (bridge)
    5 positions become the selector 3 as a TV ... Let me explain,
    the first 2 positions = micromanche
    the 3 position in the center = bridge pickup + neck pickup
    4th and 5 = bridge pickup position

    * HH is the position humbucker is inevitably reminiscent of a Les Paul with the same qualifications but say more polished and less fat but very successful .... it can also get closer Stratocaster HH ... I don &#39; is unfortunately not had the opportunity to try these cases it modèles.en any serious tears.
    The selector then reacts as the Telecaster.

    Finally the sound position (A):
    when this mode is selected, the strat offers rich sound of an acoustic guitar.
    each position of selector = different Dreadnought guitar, nylon, Resonator ...
    in this mode, the button becomes a reverb tone!
    an electric amp is already very successful ... on an amp or acoustic live on a table mix is ​​sublime

    RMQ: when one goes into the simulation level is slightly more potent than the natural strat a slight boost ... just like active pickups ....

    OVERALL OPINION

    Very good ... very versatile guitar .... live studio she goes everywhere.
    representations of the games are very exciting, eyes closed it is embedded in the richness of its sound and audience impact is there.

    Bluffing!

    Fender G-5 VG-StratocasterPublished on 04/23/10 at 14:56

    Mine has the classic sunburst body with Rosewood handle professional standard and a true standard strat with three single coils and slecteur 5 position which the reputation of his legendary Stratocaster, sublimated by SRV -M-, clapton, dire straits, ...

    Bond to 9, a true strat 'BLEND a Variax, very good coupling idegniale!

    UTILIZATION

    For use, nothing to say is what a Start, one of the most versatile guitars in the market of origin, which we added the possibility to combine ergonomics and its character tlcaster sounds, humbucker Les Paul type guitars acoustic and 5 by turning a button!

    Secondly we can change tuning a split second, turning a second knob, and even transform his 12-string guitar (very stunning!) A total of 36 possible combinations (HH Open soil, tl drop D, 12-string Stratocaster etc.)

    Negatives points:
    - Batteries wearing off too quickly without the circuit being used VG, it is better if we want rpter a classic strat remove. Specifies that it should be if we enlve batteries, or even if it tears the roland micro or circuit, the guitar is a strat U.S. classic.
    - The acoustic sounds are not exceptional, I use them mostly in the No. 12-string configuration is bluffing.
    - By changing the tuning, we sometimes hear in the ear a little tending the original sound of the chord on the strings dtone Aiges, Gnant a bit ...

    9 So on that point, I could put ten saw the ease of changing the configuration (1 knob more than a standard strat !!!), but the wear of the batteries is sometimes prmature g Nante.

    SOUNDS

    Ben sounds, nothing wrong, all sounds are very modliss thundering, micro Roland is exceptional, as dynamic as the magnetic classic.

    Configuration strat classical bin saying anything, is a strat the U.S. with its qualities and its defects.

    So 7 for acoustic sometimes unconvincing ... And I must admit that playing on a "modlisation tlcaster of" psychologically, it's different than playing on a real tl ... Even if the sound is very close, it seems that something is missing.

    The tunings are amazing, but not 100% perfect either ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    Soon, I've had a year she is no longer produced since April 2009. If it did not work is simply that the guitarists are sometimes too conservative, and that scratching a bit too revolutionized the middle ... I think.

    I've never seen any negatives reviews on this guitar from its users, it is a product of excellent quality despite the Ides reues.

    The other point that has slowed its sales, its price (2300 Official I think, so from 1800 to 1900 euros on the internet), but as I bought at stores dstockaient o (late production ) I had almost for the price of a standard strat U.S., so basically I had the free option Roland VG.

    I do not regret my purchase at all, this guitar will follow me all my life! So 9!
