ST Style Guitar

The G&L S 500 CLF Mocha electric guitar evokes '70s flair with a modern twist. Inspired by Leo Fender's innovations, this model fuses MFD pickups reworked by John R. McLaren for a smoother, more sparkling sound. The prototype model of this guitar, the #Project1979s500, was enriched by feedback from enthusiasts on social media. The G&L S 500 sports a 3-ply black pickguard and CLF machined knobs. With its retro design and refined features, it pays homage to the golden age of Fender Avenue.
