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.
