Need advice on G&L Authenticity

[Matt86]

Hello,

I'm a very new G&L man... Always been a big fine but never had the chance to own one for real. Basically I'm looking at an S500 for sale at the moment from the 90's. To be honest there isn't as much detail as if hope in the spec but upon the photos I noticed there is no "made in Fullerton" badge on the back of headstock. I just wondered if this is something to worry about or some USA Fullerton made S500's don't have this?

Many thanks

See Serial number significance.

Post some photos of this S-500 (front and back, if possible). See Tutorial: Posting photos for posting photos.

Hope this helps.

I love it and really want to purchase but was just worried no badge on the neck is a bad sign.

Many thanks

Looks good.
Everything looks right for a mid 90's S-500 . If your referring to the metal tag that G&L now puts on the back of the headstock,
no worries...they only started doing that recently.
