With such a rich and extensive history, the VG Strat brought a challenge as to which guitars to model. There's a reason Fender offers many different models of each instrument, as players have different preferences. The varying guitars Fender makes also have varying components, many of which affect the tone the guitar produces. Our main objective was to make sure we modeled the inherent tonal characteristics of each instrument rather than the specifics of a particular guitar. . . thus creating more widely representative models.

Here are the modes: · Normal (N): In this non-modeling mode, your guitar uses it's three standard Strat pickups only and plays like a standard Stratocaster® guitar. · Modeled Stratocaster (S): In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the sound of a slightly different Stratocaster tone, but with some new possibilities.
