Roland GC1, G5 VG Stratocaster Guitars Released for Namm 2012. GC1 and GC5 VG are two new models of Stratocaster that were jointly developed by Roland and Fender with one simply aim in mind - to deliver a range of quality instruments based on one of most popular guitars of all time that takes the hassle out of using guitar synthesizers.
Guitar synthesizers offer guitarists a bewildering array of tones, sounds and creativity that they would otherwise be unable to access. However, triggering a guitar synth requires the installation of a 'Hex' pick-up, for example the GK3 from Roland. Although relatively straight forward, no matter how ergonomic the design they can appear a little unsightly on the body of an attractive instrument. This is where the GC1, G5 VG Stratocaster Guitars step in.
GC1 and G5 VG Stratocasters come loaded with a pre-installed GK3, which is built into the guitar and hidden within the instrument. Since the Hex pickup is professionally installed and setup, you are ready to rock from the moment you get one of these awesome guitars out of the box - no messing, just playing! GC-1 and G-5 will plus directly into GR55 or the flagship VG99 V-Guitar system. Although GC-1 comes fitted with a GK3, as does G-5 VG, G-5 VG also comes loaded with next generation COSM modelling and offers the ultimate V-Guitar experience.
G-5 VG Stratocaster features 20 guitar sounds, including some of the most sought after sounds out there. Models include Telecaster, humbucking, 12-string, acoustic models, and cutting-edge unique sounds plus five alternate tunings. VG Strat even features alternate tuning modes and digital reverb for acoustic models.
