Reinventing a Legend: G&L USA Custom S500 in Tobacco Burst
Now available, the G&L USA Custom S500 in stunning Tobacco Burst is a guitar that pushes classic design forward. Created under the vision of Leo Fender, this model represents a true evolution of the bolt-on electric guitar.
● ▶ Leo Fender’s forward-thinking design
Introduced in 1982, the S•500 was Leo’s personal refinement of the traditional double-cutaway guitar.
Key innovations include:
-
Dual-Fulcrum vibrato system
-
MFD (Magnetic Field Design) single-coil pickups
● ▶ Tone: clarity meets power
MFD pickups deliver:
-
bright, sparkling highs
-
strong and tight low end
-
focused mids
Rolling back volume and bass reveals glassy, highly detailed tones thanks to the PTB system, active across all pickups.
● ▶ Expanded switching options
A mini-toggle switch enables:
-
neck + bridge combination
-
all three pickups simultaneously
This dramatically expands tonal versatility.
● ▶ Advanced vibrato system
The Dual-Fulcrum vibrato offers:
-
smooth upward and downward pitch bends
-
exceptional tuning stability
-
silky feel with an aluminum arm
● ▶ Playability and feel
The hard-rock maple neck with satin finish provides:
-
smooth, fast playability
-
comfortable grip
A 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets allow effortless bending and fluid performance.
