Up for your consideration is a G&L Fullerton Deluxe S-500 in 3-tone sunburst finish. The electronics have been play tested and working as they should and sound fantastic. This S-500 has an Alder body with a maple neck, fretboard with G&L sealed cast tuners. It also features a Dual-Fulcrum™ vibrato and Magnetic Field Design single-coil pickups, each designed by Leo Fender himself. This S-500 will have the original Certificate of authenticity, but this guitar did not come to us with a gig bag or case.

When G&L closed its doors in October 2025, MIRC obtained the remaining inventory.  This instrument is one of the final production models to come off the G&L line in Fullerton, California.  

The G&L Fullerton Deluxe S-500 is Leo Fender's evolution of the traditional double-cutaway electric, combining classic aesthetics with groundbreaking innovations for a powerful, versatile tone. The guitar's voice is driven by three Magnetic Field Design (MFD) single-coil pickups, which deliver a bright, sparkly top end and a robust bottom end without losing midrange focus. Its immense versatility is achieved through the exclusive PTB (Passive Treble and Bass) system and a mini-toggle Expander Switch, which unlocks hidden neck+bridge or all-three-pickups combinations. 

The S-500 features Leo's Dual-Fulcrum vibrato, ensuring unsurpassed tuning stability and a silky feel. Built in the USA, this model features a Hard-Rock Maple neck with a comfortable 9.5-inch radius, making it a forward-looking instrument designed for players who demand versatility, tone, and G&L's signature feel.
