The electronics have been play tested and working as they should and sound fantastic. This S-500 is in excellent condition and still has the protective plastic on the pick guard and back plate. It has an Okoume body that has a few very minor surface scratches on the back as pictured. It has a maple neck and fretboard with Kluson Vintage style tuners, it also features a Dual-Fulcrum™ vibrato and Magnetic Field Design single-coil pickups that feature the (PTB) Passive-Treble-Bass tone circuit and expander switch.
