These MFD pickups deliver a bright and sparkly top end and robust bottom end, all without losing midrange focus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou’ll find plenty of punch in the MFD pickups, but what’s surprising is how glassy and detailed they become as you roll back the volume and bass controls, the latter a part of the S•500’s PTB (Passive Treble and Bass)* system which functions on all three pickups. What’s more, the G\u0026amp;L Tribute® Series S•500 includes a push-pull Expander Switch** on the treble pot to allow neck+bridge or all three pickups together. In a pinch, the neck+bridge combo does a convincing faux ASAT Special. Talk about versatile!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe new G\u0026amp;L Tribute Series S•500 features one of Leo’s favorite pairings: the power of MFD pickups mellowed by the high porosity of a nato body. Making the most of this delicious combo is Leo’s Dual-Fulcrum vibrato, a work of engineering art which allows bending up or down with unsurpassed stability, while offering a silky feel through its beefy aluminum vibrato arm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeo’s forward-looking spirit is clearly reflected in the S•500, a guitar he designed for players who share that spirit. And now, it’s available at a price within reach of every working musician. Once you play a G\u0026amp;L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONSTRUCTION: bolt-on\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSCALE: 25 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePICKUPS: Leo Fender†-designed G\u0026amp;L MFD single coils\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBODY WOOD: Poplar, Poplar with Swamp Ash Top, Nato\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNECK WOOD: Hard-Rock Maple with Maple or Rosewood fingerboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNECK WIDTH AT NUT: 1 5\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNECK RADIUS: 12\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNECK PROFILE: medium C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRETS: 22 medium jumbo, nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTUNING KEYS: 18:1 ratio, sealed-back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBRIDGE: Leo Fender-designed G\u0026amp;L Dual-Fulcrum vibrato\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTROLS: 5-position pickup selector, volume, treble, bass (PTB™ system), push\/pull expander on treble pot enabling additional pickup combinations of neck+bridge or all three pickups together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item_content-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase: sold separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 8 lb 4 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is an NOS (new old stock) Electric Guitar from G\u0026amp;L.
