The place to discuss, post photos, video, and audio of the G&L products (US instruments, stomp boxes, etc.) produced after 1991, including the amps & gear we use with them.
So I bought myself a brand-spanking new G&L S500. My fingers now have holes in them because I keep playing that glorious bastard.
Here's some pictures 'cos that's what we're mostly here for:
And:
Aint she pretty?
Here's the interesting (to me) part. It's a SL500 Tribute model, but as you can tell, it's a Blueburst. The G&L website don't have Blueburst models for an SL500 Tribute. The neck has "Made in Indonesia" stamped on it, so I'm curious as to what I've got here. Was there a run of Blueburst SL500 Tributes a while ago and I managed to snag a last-copy? Is it a new thing that they're bringing in and haven't updated their website? Or have I got an anomaly here? Happy to provide more information

Blueburst Tribute S-500 models Made in Indonesia were made from 2007-2011. Check the first four digits of the serial number for the build year/build month. See: Serial number significance.
Well how about that. The number is 080940402. So it's a 2008.
I got in Australia. I heard that the distributor was having difficulty and sitting on a whole bunch of G&L stuff for ages before they made it to the stores. If somebody told me this was pre-owned, my jaw would hang somewhere around my knees though.
