This is a Stratocaster that is truly designed for the 21st century. This Fender USA VG (Virtual Guitar) is a guitar that will be perfect for recording in the digital age. Alder body and Maple neck provide natural resonant tone that sustains quite well. Rosewood fretboard provides top end bite needed to cut through any mix. Three single-coil Strat pickups provide classic Strat tones expected. In addition to normal Stratocaster pickups, this model comes with divided pickup that realizes new possibilities for guitar. This pickup transmits signals from each string individually, and is capable of accurately capturing performance information for each individual string. In addition to capturing the performance techniques and nuances characteristic of guitars, such as bending, vibrato, and hammering, the divided pickup also enables an entirely new level of performance through COSM. Roland rewrote guitar-tech history with the debut of COSM technology, which first appeared on the pioneering VG-8 guitar-modeling system. Today, the new G-5 infuses a coveted Fender Stratocaster with advanced features realized by Roland's COSM technology. In addition to offering all classic Stratocaster sounds and functionality, the G-5 provides a new world of electric and acoustic guitar tones recreated by COSM - including instantly accessible alternate tunings and 12-string sounds for all COSM guitar tones! The G-5 also offers a built-in library of coveted modeled pickup tones, and, thanks to COSM technology, also enables unique "ideal-performance" pickups, such as a humbucker with ultra-wide tone and a single coil with full, bold tone. The action is nice and low and all strings ring clear. This used guitar is in excellent shape with very little wear. Comes with original hardshell case.
