It’s not a guitar synth—it’s an American Series Stratocaster® guitar with Roland® VG technology onboard. There is no synth interface, and no midi out—it is a fully functional, stand-alone unit that you plug in and play like any electric guitar—using a regular ¼” cable to any amplifier. In addition to it being an American-made Stratocaster, the VG circuitry expands the tonal palette to give you access to a total of 37 sounds and five tunings.
