New S-500 - watch this space!

Post by R_Geezy »

I'm counting down the days (the hours really) until my new G&L comes off of the UPS truck on Thursday.
I ordered a brand new S-500 build, and splurged for some of the extras (colored headstock, gloss neck). Trying to decide between all of the options and stay within a budget was difficult but I did the best I could.
The one I really got hung up on was stainless steel frets but I opted for standard. Oh well...
I look forward to sharing some photos of 'my' G&L and some impressions of the guitar here, particularly the MFD pickups.

I believe it is 2-tone sunburst. I love it with the black guard, too and the black painted headstock!

R_Geezy, please do add it to our G&L Registry, when you get a change.

Beautiful, hopefully it surpasses your expectations.
I like the color combination too, Did something similar to my strat when I upgraded pu'ps with a loaded pickguard.
