FENDER SAYS
The American Standard Strat GR Ready is our U.S. Standard with the addition of the Roland GK2 pickup system. A plethora of sounds can be obtained via this unit. Drive Roland's GR synthesizers - changing patches directly from guitar's onboard controls - play it as straight guitar, or utilize both sounds playing them simultaneously!
