G&L S-500 Tribute Gloss Amber 2004 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have a G&L S-500 Tribute Electric Guitar in Gloss Amber finish. This guitar features a Swamp Ash body, Maple neck and 22 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. The hardware featured on this guitar consists of a G&L dual-fulcrum vibrato and sealed tuning machines, the pickups in this guitar are a trio of Leo Fender designed G&L MFD single coils, these are wired to a 5-way selector, master volume and a PTB tone system with a Mini-Toggle switch enabling additional pickup combinations.

The Satin finish Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the 'C' profile allowing for easy fretting in any register and lending itself well to a wide variety of styles. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 12” radius offers a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for string bends. The Medium jumbo frets enhance vibrato and string bending techniques whilst also providing a rock-solid and smooth playing experience.

The trio of Leo Fender designed G&L MFD single coil pickups provide classic tones, with plenty of roundness and warmth in the neck, brightness in the middle and bridge pickups and provide articulation and clarity, whilst retaining a bell-like chime.Clean sounds are glassy and shimmering, whilst driving the amp offers some searing crunch tones. The PTB (passive treble and bass) EQ system is a simple yet forward thinking solution to tonal control on an electric guitar, offering much more flexibility than a vintage setup. The tone pot closest to the volume cuts treble as you roll it down and the rear tone pot cuts bass. Because the EQ is cut-only the circuit can be passive, eliminating the need for 9v batteries as you usually would with onboard EQ.
