G&L S-500 Premium
A lovely rare G&L. Fujigen made some G&L guitars in the 90's and 2000's, these were only sold domestically and featured G&L USA MFD pickups. The combination of American pickups and Japanese build quality works together to produce a truly lovely double cut.
The neck is a thin Maple affair with a lovely Rosewood board and 22 Medium Jumbo frets. The hardware is Gotoh and the MFD pickups sound excellent. The toggle switch is an interesting one, enabling a host of unique pickup combinations that aren't possible on a traditional S-Type guitar.
