Leo Fender is the founder of Fender and the creator of models that are now synonymous with electric guitars, such as the Telecaster and Stratocaster. George Fullerton is also a founding member of Fender, and his name is etched in its history. G&L is a brand founded by two leading figures in the electric guitar world to realize their ideals. Nowadays, many products made in Japan and Indonesia are distributed and have a strong image of being cheap, but the original USA Made is the best guitar/bass that carries on Leo Fender's intentions and has been used by many artists such as Tom Hamilton and Jerry Cantrell. It continues to be used by many people.

What we would like to introduce to you this time is G&L's USA-made product. The S-500 is the next generation concept of the original Stratocaster. A masterpiece that has raised the level of practicality by adding controls and ideas to the classic specifications of single coil pickup x 3 + 5-way selector. In addition to this, the pickup has been replaced with a Fender USA pickup, making it a versatile piece in terms of sound.

As for the specs, the body is ash, the neck is made of high-quality maple with visible figured grain, and the fingerboard is made of rosewood. Three-point neck joint, long scale 22 frets. The fingerboard radius is 9.5, the nut width is approximately 40.5mm, and the neck shape is a thin C shape. The nut and frets (jumbo) have been replaced and playability is excellent. The pegs are equipped with Spazel and the bridge is equipped with the original "Dual Fulcrum Vibrato", ensuring stable tuning accuracy. Regarding the controls, the looks are traditional, but the 5-way PU selector, master volume, low cut, high cut, and 2-way mini toggle switch have a function that allows the front and rear PU to be output when the selector position is not at the center. It can output a variety of sounds. In addition, there is a [Leo Fender] signature logo on the left horn part of the top of the body.

The pickups that are the key to the sound are equipped with Fender FAT'50s at the rear, center, and front. The deep midrange and firm bass intertwine with the excellent wood rumble, producing an exquisite tone that will make you groan with just one stroke. The quality of the neck is outstanding, and you can clearly feel it from your left hand that it is playing well, and the sustain and balance are excellent.The "withered" and "crisp" sound that rivals real vintage makes you want to play it forever. It's a comfortable finish.

The condition here is that it has aged, such as the expansion of the cavity when replacing PU x 3, the refret and re-nut, dents and scratches, but it is in such beautiful condition that it is hard to believe that it has been over 30 years since it was made. I am keeping it. The neck is in good condition, the truss rod has been checked for clearance, and over 90% of the frets remain, making it excellent for playability. Accessories include an arm and a GIG case. *Hard case is for photography only.

The same individual can also be found selling at major retailers for around 200,000 yen. Guitars from the early 1990s continue to rise in price, but we are introducing this at an amazing price, taking into account the condition of the guitar, including parts replacement. If you are interested in this one, which has excellent playability, excellent sound, and no complaints, don't miss this great opportunity.
