Presentation
With its Tobacco Sunburst color, the G&L S 500 CLF is a 6-string electric guitar that impresses with the excellence of its components and the attention paid to every detail.
Thanks to the choice of okoume for the body and the table, this reference benefits from a pleasant lightness while producing a warm resonance. The natural satin finish accentuates the beauty of the Tobacco Sunburst. This model provides a pleasant grip and a soft texture.
The neck, in hard maple, is distinguished by its G&L Modern Classic shape. It combines comfort and performance to the great delight of guitarists. Its rosewood fingerboard is embellished with 22 medium jumbo nickel frets. Designed to facilitate fluid bends and ensure an extremely precise response, these frets optimize the playability of the guitar.
The 648 mm scale length combined with a 241 mm radius guarantees unparalleled handling.
Electronically, this model is equipped with G&L MFD single coil pickups, designed by Leo Fender himself. These devices ensure a faithful and dynamic replication of the sound. You will notice great clarity and precise response.
With the PTB system, you benefit from a 5-way pickup selector as well as volume, treble and bass controls. This configuration offers extensive sonic flexibility.
The addition of a mini-toggle switch offers increased flexibility by allowing the integration of additional pickup combinations.
The G&L Dual-Fulcrum vibrato bridge with forged brass saddles guarantees stability and tuning precision. The G&L Custom “Ultra-Lite” tuning keys with tapered aluminum string rods guarantee exemplary tuning stability.
The G&L Deluxe gig bag provides adequate protection for transport and storage.
