About this listing
About this guitar:Weight: 8.3 poundsG & L ceased operations in 2025. My supplier, MIRC, purchased all of their remaining brand new inventory. We gave it a fresh polish when we received it, these are the last of their kind made by G & L, when these are gone that is the end of the line. Check out some of the reviews online, they rave about this guitar, and after testing it myself I agree, this is a keeper.All protective covers are still on the guitar, ships in the original box with accessories.Description:The G&L S•500 debuted in 1982 as Leo’s own evolution of the traditional double-cutaway bolt-on axe, delivering innovations including the Dual-Fulcrum vibrato and Magnetic Field Design single-coil pickups, each designed by Leo Fender† himself. These MFD pickups deliver a bright and sparkly top end and robust bottom end, all without losing midrange focus.You’ll find plenty of punch in the MFD pickups, but what’s surprising is how glassy and detailed they become as you roll back the volume and bass controls, the latter a part of the S•500’s PTB (Passive Treble and Bass)* system which functions on all three pickups. What’s more, the G&L Tribute® Series S•500 includes a push-pull Expander Switch** on the treble pot to allow neck+bridge or all three pickups together. In a pinch, the neck+bridge combo does a convincing faux ASAT Special. Talk about versatile!The new G&L Tribute Series S•500 features one of Leo’s favorite pairings: the power of MFD pickups mellowed by the high porosity of a nato body. Making the most of this delicious combo is Leo’s Dual-Fulcrum vibrato, a work of engineering art which allows bending up or down with unsurpassed stability, while offering a silky feel through its beefy aluminum vibrato arm.Leo’s forward-looking spirit is clearly reflected in the S•500, a guitar he designed for players who share that spirit. And now, it’s available at a price within reach of every working musician. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back.**The pictures are of the actual guitar that you will receive**Specifications:CONSTRUCTION: bolt-onSCALE: 25 1/2"PICKUPS: Leo Fender†-designed G&L MFD single coilsBODY WOOD: PoplarNECK WOOD: Hard-Rock Maple with Rosewood fingerboardNECK WIDTH AT NUT: 1 5/8"NECK RADIUS: 12"NECK PROFILE: medium CFRETS: 22 medium jumbo, nickelTUNING KEYS: 18:1 ratio, sealed-backBRIDGE: Leo Fender-designed G&L Dual-Fulcrum vibratoCONTROLS: 5-position pickup selector, volume, treble, bass (PTB™ system), push/pull expander on treble pot enabling additional pickup combinations of neck+bridge or all three pickups together.Why was this guitar sent to MIRC? G & L ceased operations in 2025. MIRC purchased all of their remaining inventory, resulting in my ability to offer a brand new guitar at a great priceWill I need to set up my instrument when I receive it? All of my instruments have been set-up before shipping, so most are ready to play out of the box. However some instruments may need a minor adjustment after shipping due to changes in temperature, humidity, and getting bumped around during shipping. Also some players like to set up a new guitar to their own personal preferences.
