Hmm, that look's like an S-500 not an F-100. Where did you see it and what proof is there to say that it was "Leo's Test Guitar"? :searching:

Sorry, My bad. It is an S-500.

It is off the site it was on and I assumed it had sold. It is for sale and I am not sure why it was taken down but I know the seller will see this post and make himself known if he wants to be, or put it back up publicly. It has a letter from Dale Hyatt giving it to Glen Yunker. It's in Paul Bechtold's book. I believe it to be absolutely legit and still might buy it myself. I am sure some of you guys know this guitar and know the seller, but whereas I was not asked specifically to keep it to myself, I will leave it up to him if he wants to be known.

It's a nice guitar no doubt. I already own one of Glens old guitars and it's in mint condition.

I see that it is listed on Reverb but marked as "This listing has ended.". The photos are still viewable there. It is currently registered in our G&L Registry, too.

Yes, that would be a sweet edition to someone's collection.

Thanks for clarifying this thread.

Here's a previous thread with a few pics.
Hope it finds another good home (or maybe a G&L museum somewhere in the good 'ol PNW ;) )
