Up for sale, a 2014 G&L S-500 Semi-Hollow Custom in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original G&G hardshell case, CoA, and factory documentation. Representing the culmination of decades’ worth of pioneering construction techniques and refinements, this premium iteration of the S-500 platform features a trio of Leo Fender-designed Magnetic Field Design (MFD) pickups, a Dual Fulcrum vibrato, a semi-hollow swamp ash body (without an F hole), and a gloss Honeyburst finish.
A hard-rock maple neck and slab rosewood fretboard round out the tonewood complement, and the semi-hollow construction ensures this S-500 has a rich natural resonance, with the midrange detail and note attack attributed to ash as a tonewood. The trio of MFD pickups have ample sparkle on tap, delivering more midrange than most single coil designs. The bridge is spanky, with great snarl and twang, and toggling towards the neck yields a smoother, bell-like quality. Additionally, the independent Bass and Treble EQ knobs enable a broad degree of tonal sculpting precision, and the two-way Expander mini-toggle adds Neck/Bridge pickup pairings when engaged in positions 1 and 5 on the five-way pickup selector switch. This S-500 weighs 7lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

The gloss Honeyburst finish highlights the dynamic grain in the swamp ash body, and there is only very light buckle wear central to the back largely limited to the trem cavity cover and just a couple faint finish scratches in the clear coat on the body as a whole. The satin finish on the neck profile is flawless.
The original G&G black tolex hardshell case is included, along with the CoA and all factory documentation, dated 11/19/2014.
