Possible Refin? 1986 Mohogany G&L S500

[DOArrival]

I recently acquired an S500 that the seller claimed was all original. The finish looks a bit suspect to me. It feels a bit bumpy and has some visible divots like they didn't use enough grain filler. Can anyone verify if this is how a 1986 sunburst finish should look over mohagany?

I've also read that finding a mohogany bodied G&L in 1986 would be pretty rare. Could this be an earlier body that was refinished to match the neck? The body has no date stamps.

Post the serial number and I will contact one of my contacts at G&L to look it up in the factory log and get the specs and completion date as a starting point.

I received your PM and have sent email with the S/N to one of my contacts at G&L to look it up in the factory logs to get the details including

Stay tuned.
