The electronics have been play tested and working as they should and sound fantastic. It is in excellent condition and still has the protective plastic on the pick guard and back plate. This S-500 has an Alder body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard with G\u0026amp;L sealed cast tuners. It also features a Dual-Fulcrum™ vibrato and Magnetic Field Design single-coil pickups, each designed by Leo Fender himself. This S-500 will have the original Certificate of authenticity, but this guitar did not come to us with a gig bag or case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen G\u0026amp;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\u0026amp;L line in Fullerton, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe G\u0026amp;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\u0026amp;L's signature feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.glguitars.com\/product\/fullerton-deluxe-s500\/#\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONSTRUCTION: bolt-on\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSCALE: 25 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePICKUPS: Leo Fender†-designed G\u0026amp;L MFD single coils\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBODY WOOD: Swamp Ash and Alder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eNECK WOOD: Natural Satin Hard-Rock Maple with Maple or Rosewood fingerboard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eNECK PROFILE: G\u0026amp;L MCNK with 9.5\" radius and 1 11\/16\" nut-width\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eNUT: 100% natural bone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFRETS: 22 medium jumbo, nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eTUNING KEYS: 12:1 ratio, sealed-back\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBRIDGE: Leo Fender-designed G\u0026amp;L Dual-Fulcrum vibrato with forged brass saddles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONTROLS: 5-position pickup selector, volume, treble, bass (PTB system), mini-toggle switch enabling additional pickup combinations of neck+bridge or all three pickups together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSKU:FDS500-CAR-CR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/b\u003e: S-500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Pickup\u003c\/b\u003e: MFD S-500 single coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge\u003c\/b\u003e: DF Vibrato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColor\u003c\/b\u003e: Candy Apple Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/b\u003e: SSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs\u003c\/b\u003e: White Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControls\u003c\/b\u003e: Master Volume\/ Tone \/Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Finish\u003c\/b\u003e: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMiddle Pickup\u003c\/b\u003e: MFD S-500 single coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePickguard\u003c\/b\u003e: 3-ply tortoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecial Electronics\u003c\/b\u003e: Mini Toggle Expander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStyle\u003c\/b\u003e: S-500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSwitching\u003c\/b\u003e: 5 Position w\/ Mini Toggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius\u003c\/b\u003e: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFret Size\u003c\/b\u003e: Medium Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish\u003c\/b\u003e: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Plate\u003c\/b\u003e: 4-bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Shape\u003c\/b\u003e: Modern Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Pickup\u003c\/b\u003e: MFD S-500 single coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Frets\u003c\/b\u003e: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Material\u003c\/b\u003e: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Width\u003c\/b\u003e: 1 11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOrientation\u003c\/b\u003e: Right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePosition Inlays\u003c\/b\u003e: White Pearloid Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTuning Machines\u003c\/b\u003e: G\u0026amp;L Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"G\u0026L","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48337573052468,"sku":"FDS500-CAR-CR","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/5224\/9908\/files\/01KDR1A95BNHSKWB0Q8688XH6T.png?v=1789312524","url":"https:\/\/franklinguitarworks.com\/products\/g-l-fullerton-deluxe-s-500-electric-guitar-candy-apple-red-04166","provider":"Franklin Guitar Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
