s 500 deluxe information

[sykes]

hi
i have just bought a s 500 deluxe and i dont know a great deal about them, and am trying to find out the year it was made and if it is standard or not and genuine.
it is in clear red, seller states it was new/hardly used, looks new, flame maple top on mahogany, 12 inch neck, locking tuners..add said they were sperzel but they have no marking on them, and saddle lock bridge, no pickguard.....number on neck under tuners is CLF 58341
came in black G & L tolex case and C & L certificate of authenticity
i thought the standard bridge on this one was a trem but as i say, i am not sure.
any help on this would be great
cheers.....

Check out the G&L website (glguitars.com). Here's the link to the S-500 Deluxe specs page
and the US Guitar Options page. The Saddle-Lock bridge is an optional bridge type.
Based upon the serial number, I would estimate that the build year is 2010.

Please do post a photo of your S-500 Deluxe, as we always like to see a member's newly acquired G&L (and it doesn't exist without one ).

Hope this helps.
