SOLD 04/19! Fender equipped a limited run of guitars with the Roland synth circuitry and this one happens to be a Standard model made in Mexico. It functions totally kike the regular version of the guitar but with a mini switch that combines synth/regular output and 2 pushbutton switches that access the different memory banks of the outboard controller (not included). The combination opens up unlimited expression far beyond the expertise of the player. Whether you need this much to augment your playing well, I'll leave that up to you. Black with maple neck, 7 3/4 lbs and original hard case.
