Fender Roland G5 VG COSM Modeling Stratocaster MIM Black Strat Nice! 65405
Description (more pics below)
This is a 2012 Fender VG Stratocaster in black finish, made in Mexico. Very nice condition. Features:
— Roland modeling built in
— T-knob = 6 different tunings: Normal, Open G, Drop D, Baritone, D Modal and 12 string.
— M-knob = 5 different modes: Normal, Strat, Tele, humbucking, and acoustic.
The guitar looks great and has only some tiny marks (see pics). Frets are in great condition. After selling quite a few of these, I can say the VG's are a cut above most Mexican Strats, quality like USA made. You can pay a few hundred more for a USA-made VG, but those have a 2-point tremolo, as opposed to a standard 6-screw on this one. Comes with tremolo bar, but no case. Four AA batteries included. Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing, as well as more manufacturer specs. Thanks!

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
Manufacturer Info
Equipped with a GK-2 Roland pickup, this unique model Strat is an awesome player that manages to do even more than the already versatile Stratocaster typically does. The electronics system allows the player complete control of their sound, fitted with dual outputs (1/4” and 13-pin) and the ability to play through them independently or simultaneously. The 5-way switch grants the player access to all the Stratocaster tones they know and love, while the Roland GK-2 enabled pickup affords endless midi possibilities.
