The Fender VG Stratocaster is an incredibly versatile instrument that gives you 37 different Stratocaster, Telecaster®, humbucking, 12-string and acoustic sounds, plus five alternate tunings, all at the simple flip of a switch or twist of a knob. It all comes in the gracefully familiar form of an American Series Stratocaster, and it’s designed to deliver each sound with level, balanced tone and volume—no need to readjust your amp settings with each change in guitar sound. It’s a classic Strat® in every sense of the word, with a lot of extra magic, too.

VG Strat Mode Controls
The 5-way selectable “Mode” control dial is what you will use to choose among the VG’s distinct modeling modes. While in each mode, simply use the blade 5-way selector switch to switch pickups as if you are playing the guitar type that you’ve selected. Here are the modes:
• (N) Normal: In this non-modeling mode, your guitar uses it's three
standard Strat pickups only and plays like a standard Stratocaster®
guitar.
• (S) Modeled Stratocaster: In this modeling mode, your guitar plays
with the sound of a slightly different Stratocaster tone, but with some new possibilities. You now have the option of a 12-string sound or several different alternate tunings (see page 11).
• (T) Telecaster: In this modeling mode, the guitar plays with the
sound of a Telecaster guitar. The 'snap' of the bridge position, the
'chirp' of the middle position, it's all there. And of course there's the option of the 12-string sound and the alternate tunings.
• (H) Humbucking Pickups: In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the sound of two high output humbucking pickups; one in the neck position and one in the bridge position. This is the mode where you’ll find that oh-so desirable warm, full tone you’d expect from high end humbucking pickups.
• (A) Acoustic: In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the warm, full sound of an acoustic guitar. In this position the blade switch switches between various acoustic tones from the warmth of a dreadnought to the bright, cutting sound of a resonator’s smooth bluesy twang.

VG Strat Tuning Controls
The "Tuning" control lets you choose among several different tunings
and 12-string sounds, all at the turn of a rotary selector control. It's great to know you'll no longer be needing multiple guitars laying around in different tunings at the gig or in the studio. This feature is also fantastic because many of the tunings would drastically alter the string tension of a guitar, with some strings slackened and some tightened. On the VG Strat® the string tension stays the same since you are not actually readjusting the strings!
• (N) Normal: In this mode, your guitar plays in standard tuning (E A D G B E).
• (D) Drop D: In this mode, your guitar plays with the lowest string tuned to D (D A D G B E).
• (G) Open G: In this mode, your guitar plays in open G tuning (D G D G B D).
• (d) D Modal: In this mode, your guitar plays in D modal tuning (D A D G A D).
• (B) Baritone: In this mode, your guitar plays as a baritone guitar (B E A D F# B).
• (12) 12 String: In this mode, your guitar is beautifully modeled as a 12 string, acoustic or electric guitar.
