Based on G&L's Most Popular Options
The G&L Fullerton Deluxe S-500 solidbody electric guitar is essentially a combination of G&L's most popular options that players select for their custom G&L guitars. For unbridled tonal tenacity, you get three Magnetic Field Design (MFD) pickups in the classic SSS configuration. To make the most of these vibrant pickups, you have G&L's Passive Treble and Bass (PTB) tone circuit, with separate high-cut and low-cut tone controls. Even better, a mini toggle switch gives you access to neck-plus-bridge and all-pickups-on modes. And for maximum expressive potential with rock-solid tuning stability, the G&L Fullterton Deluxe S-500 is equipped with G&L's Dual-Fulcrum vibrato tailpiece.
Note: This is a Dent 'n' Scratch model, which means we have inspected the guitar for structural issues, but there could be minor cosmetic flaws present that do not affect playability.

PTB tone system — tone knobs you'll love
The more we play with G&L's PTB tone system here at Sweetwater, the more we realize how useful it is to have a low-cut control on an electric guitar. The PTB tone system essentially includes one traditional tone knob to roll off high frequencies, and another tone knob to roll off low frequencies. The bass roll-off is especially useful in high gain applications like fuzz pedals, tightening up low-end punch and keeping your tone from getting too muddy. It's also a great way to add guitar overdubs to a mix without adding too much low-mid frequency content.
Single-coil trio delivers amazing tone
The trio of MFD pickups in the Fullerton Deluxe S-500 is a tone-chaser's dream. Ever pushing the boundaries, Leo Fender designed the MFD with a thicker magnet and fewer coils. The result is a tighter magnetic field with an increased output that translates to big tone. This higher output doesn't compromise the classic glassy single-coil tone nor the detail in notes they are known for. Each pickup also features individually adjustable pole pieces that give you even further control on shaping the tone of these pickups. In addition to the familiar five-way pickup selector, the Fullerton Deluxe S-500 offers a mini-toggle switch to give you access to two additional pickup modes — neck plus bridge pickups, and all pickups on.
