G&L S-500 - White w/ Natural Binding & Tortoise Pickguard

The G&L S-500 is yet another Leo Fender creation that the company continues to create. Leo looked at this instrument as a natural progression of the work that he stated back when the electric guitar was in its infancy. Truly ahead of its time when created in the 1980’s and still a modern instrument today, the S-500 is a custom shop guitar at working players price.

This G&L S-500 is finished in gloss white with natural wood binding. Add some light flame to the back of the neck for a very sharp looking guitar. The perfectly prepared frets on a 12” radius neck make this guitar play flawlessly right out of the box. The G&L tuners and Patented Dual Fulcrum Vibrato allow for some pretty aggressive fretboard acrobatics without worrying about going out of tune. The Mini Toggle in addition to the standard 5-way switch allow for some tone you just can’t get from other guitars of this style.

The ultimate improvement for a guitar of this style is a tone knobs that are actually useful, and the PTB system delivers. Instead of getting a useless tone knob that no one every uses anyway, the PTB gives you separate Bass and Treble cut knobs that are effective on all pickups. Genius. Check out this G&L S-500 today. It won’t last long.
