G&L is Leo Fender's third brand, following Fender and Musicman.
It is beloved by many artists, including Will Ray, Shingo Kanehiro, and chay. (Titles omitted)
This guitar is the flagship model, the S-500.
It is the final model of the Stratocaster, the last model designed by Leo Fender, the creator of the Stratocaster.
It is also a special guitar created to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the G&L brand.
The body is crafted from Okoume wood.
The see-through ruby finish brings out the wood grain, and the pearlescent pickguard creates a beautiful look.
The neck is crafted from hard maple, and the fingerboard is made from rosewood.
Compared to traditional Fender specs, the fingerboard radius is slightly flatter, providing stress-free playability.
The pickups are G&L's signature MFD (Magnetic Field Design) pickups.
By placing a ceramic magnet under the coil to increase output and reducing the number of coil turns, we've successfully eliminated the weaknesses of single-coil pickups: lack of power and excessive noise.
Furthermore, this pickup's pole piece height is adjustable.
This is a rare design for a single-coil pickup, and is a welcome feature for guitarists who want to precisely balance the volume of each string.
The bridge uses G&L's proprietary Dual Fulcrum Vibrato.
The arm provides a smoother touch than conventional synchronized tremolos, allowing for more delicate vibrato.
The control system is equipped with the "PTB System."
While a standard Stratocaster has controls for Master Volume, Neck PU Tone, and Middle PU Tone, this model has controls for Master Volume, Treble Cut, and Low Cut.
This allows for separate control of the high and low frequencies, allowing for a wide range of sound creation.
In terms of sound, the S-500's distinctive warmth and crispness are both characteristic of the instrument.
The traditional Stratocaster sound is thicker and clearer, perfectly suited to both clean and hard-drive tones.
This is a must-have for anyone seeking a modern Stratocaster sound that complements contemporary music.
Don't miss this opportunity!
