Pickups have been replaced with Seymour Duncan SSL-1 California 1950s Strat Pickups and the frets have been leveled and polished. The G&L S•500™ debuted in 1982 as Leo’s own evolution of the traditional double-cutaway bolt-on axe, and Leo’s forward-looking spirit is clearly reflected in this 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&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back.
