Up for your consideration is a G&L Fullerton Deluxe S-500 in Blueburst finish. The electronics have been play tested and working as they should and it sounds fantastic. This S-500 has an Swamp Ash body with a maple fingerboard and features G&L MFD single coil pickups with mini toggle expander, and the G&L DF Vibrato. This one is in excellent condition and ready for you to enjoy, this will have the original Certificate of Authenticity and will ship with the bag/case as pictured in the listing.

When G&L closed its doors in October 2025, MIRC obtained the remaining inventory.  This instrument is one of the final production models to come off the G&L line in Fullerton, California.

The G&L Fullerton Deluxe S-500 is Leo Fender's evolution of the traditional double-cutaway electric, combining classic aesthetics with groundbreaking innovations for a powerful, versatile tone. The guitar's voice is driven by three Magnetic Field Design (MFD) single-coil pickups, which deliver a bright, sparkly top end and a robust bottom end without losing midrange focus. Its immense versatility is achieved through the exclusive PTB (Passive Treble and Bass) system and a mini-toggle Expander Switch, which unlocks hidden neck+bridge or all-three-pickups combinations. The S-500 features Leo's Dual-Fulcrum vibrato, ensuring unsurpassed tuning stability and a silky feel. Built in the USA, this model features a Hard-Rock Maple neck with a comfortable 9.5-inch radius, making it a forward-looking instrument designed for players who demand versatility, tone, and G&L's signature feel.
