Magnetic Field Design (MFD) Pickups

The G&L MFD pickups are known for their high output and clarity, offering a wide range of tones from bright and crisp to warm and mellow. The pickups are designed to handle both clean and overdriven sounds exceptionally well, making them ideal for a variety of music genres.

PTB (Passive Treble and Bass) System

The Fullerton Deluxe S-500 features G&L’s unique PTB system, which allows for independent control over treble and bass frequencies. This provides greater flexibility in shaping the guitar’s tone compared to traditional single-knob tone controls.

Mini-Toggle Switch

The mini-toggle switch allows for additional pickup configurations by enabling the neck and bridge pickups to be used together or all three pickups simultaneously. This expands the tonal possibilities and gives players access to more complex and nuanced sounds.

Dual-Fulcrum Vibrato

The G&L Dual-Fulcrum vibrato system offers smooth operation and excellent tuning stability, allowing for expressive vibrato effects without compromising tuning accuracy.
