DISC - G and L Tribute S-500 Electric Guitar, 3 Tone Sunburst Overview
The S-500 delivers plenty of punch thanks to the three Magnetic Field Design™ single coil pickups, delivering a bright and sparkly top end and robust bottom end without losing midrange focus. As well as a 5-position pickup selector, it also includes a push-pull expander on the treble pot that allows neck+bridge or all three pickups together. The S-500 reflects Leo Fender's foward-looking spirit, and in the Tribute Series it's available at a price within reach of every working musician.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionDF Vibrato System:
The G&L Dual-Fulcrum® vibrato uses two pivoting points rather than the six wood screws attaching the a vintage type tremolo. Leo Fender created this design to yield a much smoother, "silky" feel and allows the player to bend notes up as well as down. Unlike silmilar looking bridges, the DF vibrato uses a hardened steel bridge plate, pivoting on knife-edge bolts set into massive brass inserts anchored into the body. The bolts themselves are machined from billets of cold-rolled steel, then heat treated for hardness and finally plated.
The G&L Non-Compression Truss Rod:
G&L's contemporary, non-compression design incorporates a secondary, flat-sided rod which bows away from primary rod. Unlike a vintage truss rod, this design does not compress the neck longitudinally in order to function; compression is undesirable because it tends to distort the curvature of the fingerboard. Operation is both fluid and accurate with the articulation of the neck, the "relief", being very consistent across the length of the neck.
