G&L is Leo Fender's third brand, created after Fender and Musicman.
It's beloved by many artists, including Will Ray, Shingo Kanehiro, and chay. (Titles omitted)
G&L offers several series based on manufacturing method and price range, but this is the Tribute series, manufactured in Indonesia.
Manufacturing in Indonesia keeps costs down, while using the same pickups and other hardware as the original USA models, resulting in authentic specifications.
This is the flagship model, the S-500.
This model can be considered the final iteration of the Stratocaster, the last model created by Leo Fender, the creator of the Stratocaster.
The body back is made of poplar wood, and the top is the classic ash.
The beautiful look is enhanced by a see-through blue burst finish that brings out the ash grain.
The neck and fingerboard are made of maple.
Compared to traditional Fender specs, this guitar features a slightly flatter fingerboard radius, making for stress-free playability.
As with the USA model, 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 power and noise that are considered weaknesses of single-coil pickups.
What's more, 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 features G&L's proprietary Dual Fulcrum Vibrato.
The arm provides a smoother touch than conventional synchronized tremolos, allowing for more delicate vibrato.
The controls are equipped with the "PTB System."
While a typical Stratocaster has controls for Master Volume, Neck PU Tone, and Middle PU Tone, this model has only Master Volume, Treble Cut, and Low Cut.
This allows you to control the high and low frequencies separately, allowing for a wide variety of sound creation.
The S-500's distinctive sound combines warmth and clarity.
The traditional Stratocaster sound is made fatter and clearer, and it's a perfect fit for both clean tones and hard, driven sounds.
This is an excellent product for anyone seeking a modern Stratocaster sound that matches contemporary music.
