NEW VG STRATOCASTER $3999

Wouldn’t it be nice to flip a switch on a Stratocaster and, all of a sudden, be in an alternate tuning? Wouldn’t it be nice to turn a knob on its pickguard and suddenly have a clear acoustic guitar sound, the roar of a humbucking pickup, the signature snap of a Telecaster® guitar and the lush fullness of a 12-string?

That is the idea behind the VG Strat: a single, incredibly versatile instrument that delivers 37 serious Fender Stratocaster, Telecaster, humbucking, 12-string and acoustic sounds, plus five alternate tunings, all at the simple flip of a switch or the twist of a knob—and all in the gracefully familiar form of the Stratocaster.

Fender feels strongly that keeping the instrument simple was the way to go.
Usually, the more functionality you add, the more complicated an instrument becomes. So the VG Stratocaster® was pared down to the essentials, making it easy to pick up and play. After all, a Fender® Strat® shouldn’t require the study of a huge owner’s manual.

The VG Stratocaster® features that classic, sleek, contoured body shape, three American Series single-coil pickups with five-position switching, a maple neck with a maple or rosewood fingerboard, a synchronised tremolo bridge, a three-ply parchment pickguard and chrome hardware. In other words, it’s a Strat® in every sense of the word, with all the magic intact.

But two additional knobs on the VG Strat’s pickguard—plus a small LED and an inconspicuous Roland® GK bridge pickup—bring with them some new magic. These two knobs, a Mode Control knob and a Tuning Function knob, serve up incredible and seemingly limitless new sonic possibilities.

The Mode Control knob governs five distinct modeling modes: Normal, Modeled Stratocaster®, Telecaster®, Humbucking Pickups and Acoustic.

The Tuning Function knob lets guitarists choose among five alternate tunings (Normal, Drop D, Open G, D Modal, Baritone) and a 12-string sound. And since guitarists don’t have to turn a single tuning key, a major benefit of all these instant tuning changes is that the string tension remains the same and the guitar itself feels the same.

Even better, the VG Stratocaster® delivers level, balanced tone and volume across all these remarkable functions, so that guitarists needn’t continually readjust amp settings with each change in guitar sound.

NEW AMERICAN STANDARD TELECASTER

The look, sound and vibe of the Telecaster resonate throughout the history and soundscapes of popular music. From orchestra pits to mosh pits; small clubs to stadiums and garages to recording studios, its signature sound is everywhere.

The new American Standard Telecaster still has the hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for playability, tone and stability, and now includes great new features including:

A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles mounted to a stamped-brass bridge plate for increased resonance and sustain.
Beautiful Ash body
A new neck treatment—tinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky, comfortable satin finish.
A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance.
A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
Two beautiful new finish options, Blizzard Pearl and Crimson Red Transparent.
