What's Hot

NOW SOLD

I've not been playing guitar so much over the last couple of years and could do with freeing up some cash, so will be putting 4 up for sale with a view to selling a couple (Edwards 335, G&L S500 (US), US tele, Blue SG now sold) - don't really mind which as they're all nice in different ways.

G&L S500 - £620 ono, cash on collection from south Nottingham, or I might be able to deliver in the East Midlands area (particularly Leics / Market Harborough). I think I'd be happy to post this one for the price of delivery, but would probably want paypal gift if so.

Great modern US built strat. S500 pickups are hotter than trad strat pickups, but can get in a similar ballpark if you back off the volume / tone controls a little. Has a little switch which can bring in the neck and bridge together. Great trem. Fairly flat radius board, with a slim satin finish neck. Locking tuners. All stock with G&L case.

This one is no lightweight (like many solid body US G&Ls), so won't suit anybody who needs a light guitar. It has one small ding on the upper edge of the body that I've highlighted, and also a little fret ware (wear?) that is pictured, but it plays great.

    I have had a US  S500.........they are indeed all quite heavy and feel a bit "bigger" than a Fender but what a great guitar.......I really like the flexibility of the pick up system and the way you can dial the thin brightness out of the bridge but still sound like a strat. Amazing variety of sound options and they all play superbly ......easily the playing quality of a CS Fender for less than half the price .

    This one has seen some early fretboard Riff Of the Month action:

    Probably my favourite of the riffs I submitted - featuring the s500 neck pickup:



    Also used it on the rhythm part of this one (sounds like bridge / middle combi I guess). The fuzzy lead was the SG I also have for sale:

    Sold the SG now, so ideally I'd like to shift this or the tele - bumping this one as it seemed to get more attention than the tele
