Fender Strat

For sale is a Fender VG Stratocaster in the desirable Sunburst/Maple color combination.

Made in USA, 2007 this series has been discontinued by Fender. This piece was purchased new 3/10/10 from a local Fender dealer and has been played only in a smoke-free studio.

It includes the Fender molded case and all pictured tags and documentation.

There are no scratches or gouges on either side of the body or neck, and the body has an EXCELLENT woodgrain. The plastic is still on the pickguard, and the VG sticker can be re-applied whenever desired.

All VG effects are fully functional and quite believable!

Mode Control allows you to modify the sound of your VG before it is output to your amp or effect pedal. There are 5 different positions on the Mode Control knob and for each position you can move the 5-way pickup selector to change settings for that model. The following selections are available on the Mode Control knob:

• (N) Normal Guitar – This setting allows you to play the Strat without modeling using the standard 3 single-coil pickups. The 5-way switch selects the pickup.
• (S) Modeled Stratocaster – This setting uses the hex pickup to give you the sound of a Strat but with a slightly different tone. The 5-way pickup selector emulates selecting a pickup while still sensing through the hex pickup.
• (T) Modeled Telecaster – This setting uses the hex pickup to model a telecaster guitar. The 5-way selector changes between two virtual single-coil pickups. Position 5 or 4 is the neck pickup, position 3 is both pickups, and position 2 or 1 is the bridge pickup.
• (H) Modeled Humbucking – This setting uses the hex pickup to model humbucker pickups. Since there are only 2 virtual humbuckers, the 5-way switch acts the same as for the Telecaster mode.
• (A) Modeled Acoustic – This setting uses the hex pickup to model an acoustic guitar. Each position on the 5-way switch models a different tone of acoustic guitar.

The second dimension to the VG Strat is it’s ability to alter the guitar’s tuning without changing the tension of the strings.

• (N) Normal Mode – This mode applies no modeling to the tuning of the strings. Through the amp each string sounds the same as it does on the guitar. • (D) Drop D – This mode simulates tuning the low E string down to D. If you play the guitar unplugged, it will have no effect, but the signal that is sent out to the amp will sound as if the guitar is tuned down.
• (G) Open G – This mode simulates tuning the guitar to open G. (D G D G B D)
• (d) D Modal – This mode simulates D Modal tuning. (D A D G A D)
• (B) Baritone – This mode simulates baritone tuning. (B E A D F# B)
• (12) 12 String – This mode simulates a 12 string guitar in standard tuning.
