By the way, the VG strat goes from about $1600, not two grand.]]> Guitar Players Discussion The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253578 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253562 Mon, 09 Jul 2007 22:54:22 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Kaspen https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253562 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253237 Mon, 09 Jul 2007 01:04:28 +0000

And yes, I'm seriously thinking about getting one.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Kaspen https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253226 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253218 Mon, 09 Jul 2007 00:29:53 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion biker_jim_uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253218 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253216 Mon, 09 Jul 2007 00:25:27 +0000
For the £1300 you pay, I think you get a nice guitar out of it. Although is it really worth paying another £600 just to not touch the machine heads?

Although of course, its not just that. Its 37 different sounds and 5 alternate tunings. And of course you have the ability to bypass the VG circuit and have a Strat when you want it.

So is it just a gimmick? Hard to tell. Likely as not older players will see it as something pointlessly modern - they won't need all those tunings and tones.

For modern players (and as a friend and I discussed, session musicians) it will probably be the ultimate guitar. A strat and a whole lot more with the same guitar. Loads of people seemed to like the Line 6 Variax didn't they? Well this is about 100 steps ahead of that in my opinion.

They probably won't out-do Stratocasters - not in the forseeable future anyway. But its an interesting idea and will probably gain popularity...

Just my 2 cents :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Itchard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253216 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253199 Sun, 08 Jul 2007 23:54:08 +0000
But are they really just a gimmick, or are they the future for any serious studio musician? I mean, the price speaks for itself. Do you think you should pay that absurd amount of money to be able to get a pitch-shifted artificial sound aswell? Is this really good? I mean, do I get the same problems like when you change a tone with your whammy-bar? Of course I like it on paper, but how does it actually sound? Would you recommend it?]]> Guitar Players Discussion Kaspen https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253199 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253198 Sun, 08 Jul 2007 23:41:58 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion biker_jim_uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fender-vg-stratocaster/#post-253198
