VG strat was built around an American Standard Fender Stratocaster.
The G-5 is a hybrid. It uses the American neck and tuners, and the pickups and bridge are from the Standard Strat made in Mexico.
The modeling technology in the G-5 guitar has some improvements and enhancements that the VG Strat didn't have:
Addition of a jazz guitar model.
Reverb on the acoustic sounds (controllable with a knob).
Four new virtual pickup sounds:
-Two on the Telecaster model
-Two on the humbucker model
*Switch positions 2,3,4 model the standard 3-position switch. Positions 1 & 5 are new enhanced virtual pickup models. These positions didn't do anything on the VG Strat.
