From bridge to neck, when the "expander" switch is towards the neck, the options are:
1. Neck and Bridge
2. All 3
3. Middle pickup only
4. All 3
5. Neck and Bridge
Thank you for clarifying.
The 2 & 4 position when expander switch is up is all 3 pickups at the same time. 1 and 5 is neck and bridge. Middle is the middle.
S500 is a great guitar.
I have an American G&L Legacy and it's the best guitar I have ever played, sounds strattier than my American fender
I've played G&Ls since 1981. Two features you didn't mention are the Master Treble and Bass control knobs, and the great floating bridge that can bend both ways and stays in tune.
God g and l guitars are soooooo amazing I'm buying one and every time I go to the guitar store to play it I get this feeling that I dont get doing anything else. If I could recomend any guitar brand it would be g and l
Locking tuners. I love those PU’s! Somehow they sound more Fender than Fender!
Was thinking exactly the same thing.
I started getting happy when he said “let’s make a loop”😜
I falled in love with it man! I would like to see some truth about Squier, specially on Squier Strat California on detailed and what you consider the best Squier strat. Thank you for the time MArty. Regrads from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Yes! Thanks for the G&L love. I have an LB100 bass and ASAT guitar and feel no need to look for anything else.
You can't beat the blues!!!!! The blues don't need words just sound!!!!!
It's the Gilmour 7-way switch. I had that installed on my 50euro SX guitar. Cost me about 25euros but made it sound 4x as good.
I have owned 5 Stratocaster and 4 G&Ls loved all of them, G&L guitars are awesome.
I have the tribute, nice guitar. Using the second toggle switch, the first and fifth positions are Each neck and bridge. The second and fourth positions are each all three pickups. Middle position is just the middle as usual.
It's rare to hear Dead licks in gear demos. Nice job.
The thing about g and ls and their mdf pickups is that you really have to ride the tone and volume. I like that alot but people don't think to not put the tone at 10 all the time. I play on an ASAT their t type and i love the thing more then any other guitar ive played.
Yeah baby! I've got a G/L F100 original proto type 1981 cherry collector's awesome screamer double humbucker split pickups ebony fret board...etc...nothing compares with it. Thanks for demoing this one Marty.
It must be noted that you get an awesome palette of sounds while playing with tone and volume controls on the S500 which are nothing like a strat. Not talking about using a tube (pre)amp (heaven), but just plug it in anything and you're already blown away with how it sounds.... (Nothing like a strat where you cry when you have to plug directily in the mixing console).
Love my S500.........and my Legacy............and, O yeah, love my Comanche too!!! Even the Imported Tribute line is great - G&L uses the same pickups in their imports as they do in their USA models .
Yes! And precisely the reason of the same pickups being used in the Imports, is the reason I will be buying the tributes until I can afford the USA models.
I’ve got a early 2000’s Tribute version that is just awesome! Mine is apparently a special edition with an ash body and maple fretboard. I’m totally floored with how versatile it is. The only thing sonically for me that I might choose would be a mahogany body. If there’s anyone in the Seattle area that wants to trade a mahogany body for an ash let me know.
I've got an 04 or 05 tribute S500 when they were still made in South Korea and you could get the tributes with ash bodies and maple fretboards (They stopping giving you those options when they moved it tribute line to Thialand). It's an amazing guitar. A friend has asked me why I haven't sold it and replaced it with a "real Fender" so I let borrow it for a while so he could understand how high quality of an instrument it is. It's worth so much more to me than the $400 I could get in the used market.
The tribute production moved to Indonesia not Thailand.
I have one very similar but red burst that I got in ‘92. I love it. It’s a very versatile guitar.
If you get your hands on a B&G Little Sister, would like to hear you review on it. Love the channel!
Just got a used G&L tele and couldn't be happier. Great video
I'd be willing to bet that some time after you filmed this, you were sat watching Netflix or eating a Muffin and the words "Locking tuners" just popped into your head, followed swiftly by "dammit!".
I have the asat classic. Tele model. Absolutely love it
Great video! I learned so much. I always thought G&L was just another cheap knock off now I want one. And now I see how locking tuners work. Thanks
Hi Marty
Could you pls do top 10 riffs of all time.
Great review. G&L s500 owners need to know how to work the bass and treble tone knob. These guitars are not like standard strats where you roll the knob up to 10. You can, but you can also get many other great tones by dialing back the knobs. On my USA s500 for example - if I want a thinner strat sound I roll the knobs back around 6-7 along with the volume to a 7. Basically, you can get countless amounts of tones adjusting the knobs, volume, and pickup selections.
@bmxryan what would you recommend setting the knobs to to get a classic Hendrix/Frusciante style clean tone? I’m using a legacy though, not an s500.
G&L guitars are amazing.
The sonic sound of it... hmmm yes yes that’s is what we go for!!! I got a Tonal relief. Classic video. Really nice guitar. Hope you review more G&Ls.
Hi Marty, I have one exactly the same! It plays like silk compared to my stats, and the tones are completely different.
Keep up the good work
Peter
Those MFD pickups are ceramic magnets and around 4.5 K ohms. Very quiet as far as 60 cycle hum.
I own two G and L s an ASAT classic S, and an Invader. Love them, and also love the custom options
ow
the thursday gear videos are a perfect excuse to get yourself some nice gear or guitars
love it Xd bought last month a nice strat with lip stick pickups
Hey Marty! Does the "S" in "S500" stand for "Schwartz"? Brother, could you do a lesson on "The Turning Away" solo? A little more of Mr Gilmore is never a bad thing on this channel! I'll bet that G&L you demo'd today would sound great on that track.
Alexander Winston yes!
Alexander Winston, lol, Marty just "taught" me the comfortably numb solos.
J Bolo. Now that you've learned it, There'll be no more, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! (But you may feel a little sick)
Alexander Winston ,lmmfao, that's hilarious!
You can do the exact same thing using the "blender" wiring mod on any Squier or Fender strat fyi. Anybody interested see the demos on UA-cam.
In the early 90s the music store I worked in (was the family business) started getting G&L not long before closing. Would've loved to have 1, still would. A shame there not more widely available as they're very good guitars.
as always ! you make me happy with all of your videos marty . Big Fan From LIBYA
G&L guitars are great. I have a ASAT Classic, and she Rocks&Roars
Beautiful
maybe its just in the video and because of prospective, but it seems to me that the distance between the low E and the end of the neck is much bigger than the one between the high E and the neck profile. Check the neck out buddy! And as always great video Marty!
Nice guitar, and you are getting great tones out of it. My only complaint about strats is the switch location. I sometimes hit it while strumming in the neck position. Locking tuners! : )
autocrow Yep lets me know I getting too worked up haha. My new stiffer switch helped. Stock mexican switch was crackling and too easy.
Good to know that helped. I have a Japanese strat and I'm on my 3rd import (plastic) switch. Next time I'm putting in an American metal one. The problem for me is the wiring as the two look quite different.
I'm a few years late but I assume you were talking about locking tuners?
I can't decide between legacy, s500 and Comanche.. but I'm definitely getting a g&L
leo s improvements over the strat
I want that guitar! :) They look pretty light as well. I have an old Kay Les Paul lookalike with humbucker pick ups that weighs a bloody ton.
Luv the Birdsong!
Cool review. U have a G&L ASAT Classic Tribute. I just wish you had gone over the unique wiring with the tone knobs.
Awesome Video Marty!
The Rolling Stones-Ventilator blues, please!!
Please, reply!!!
marty please do highway tune and black smoke rising from greta van fleet pleaseeee
Marty! Maybe a review/demo of Pignose 7-100?
Marty is.........and has always been........the man!
Love my g&l tribute s-500, can't wait for the new doheny Tribute release in the UK
Great timing, I was just debating wether to get this or an actual fender
Chewthursday Gearawks!
Please do the *Welcome to the Black Parade* _electric guitar tutorial_
That is a sweet and solid performing guitar my man!
I have a limited edition hss legacy tribute with semour duncan jb coil tap guitar is like butter
That guitar is a beauty, great playing man. Would still love to see you demo a Taylor T5z.
Love my G&L
Thanks for the g&l review. I bought a US G&L ruby red Comanche. It took a long time to receive it, but worth the wait. I only wish that I could make it sound like you do. You can wail 😀
I have a blue Comanche, sweet guitar.
The Comanche is a great guitar. I have one in blue burst
Do you prefer legact special over the S500?
Love the channel. Thank you so much! I have a suggestion. Perhaps for the acoustic list but how about Lawyers Guns and Money by Warren Zevon. Would be killer! Big Fan.
Thought I was listening to Tommy Bolin "Homeward Strut" !
Sperzel locking tuners?
Great guitars! Please do a G & L Comanche :)
can you do a lesson on how to play franklin’s tower by the grateful dead? much love
Pleaseeeeeeeeee. Do road trippin by RHCP on acoustic please marty!!!! nobody teaches it right and I really want to learn it.
ua-cam.com/video/wPAfL3In-lI/v-deo.html
Whatt?? This dude teaches, if not better, just as good as marty
that guitar is a beauty'''
The best guitar player
Bird Song!!!
Can you do "sunroof" by boogie I can't find a good lesson for it anywhere and yours are great!
So which is the better value/quality at similar price - G&L or Squier? Both have a $400 option tele. Is either better made or is it basically brand loyalty (or brand hate)?
Tanglangfa I'd probably choose a G&L over a Squier. The G&Ls have great build quality.
Please teach us how to play “had to cry today” by blind faith.
I had a G&L Legacy....stratocaster sss, that had a dowel mark about at the 3rd fret, on the back of the neck......someone told me that it was Leo's Mark on his last guitars....I never put much faith into that story, but what is the dowel for?..lol
Hey Marty, can you teach us the song "Holy Shit," by Father John Misty? That song goes hard!
I can’t find that anywhere
how about the PBT circuit
Great video as always, love G&L guitars.
I'm enjoying your videos more and more, Marty! I think you've gotten a lot freer and more confident in your presentation while still retaining a methodical approach. Also, the fact of your playing actual songs and musical solos makes your videos much more watchable than UA-cam demos with mind-numbing repetitive note patterns.
Please do walk away this way by Arosmith please youe awesome man keep going
Stunning guitar. Thank you for showing us Marty. I'd be afraid to ask the price of one tho. Haha.
You'd be surprised, they are really cheap compared to fender guitars
3:20
That’s a pretty guitar
Can you make a video of “with arms wide open” tutorial
ASAT Bluesboy or ASAT Deluxe for JAZZ? Anybody have a preference?
did you mention PTB ???
Marty, will you please do Mr tambourine man by bob Dylan. All the other channels have bad lessons for it.
The “quack” just ain’t the same with those pickups but, with a little gain, it’s so brittle it’s amazing. Thanks so much for the demo.
Locking Tuners
With a lawyer for a dad Brian will surely understand that possession is 9/10ths of the law.
No jury would convict Marty.
Woww..
What color is that guitar
Whatsup Marty
How to play like a really mad guitarist, like John fruciante and flea, like I always try to play like the way they do but moving my guitar and at the same time,dancing makes out some error while playing. Is there anything you can help??
Thats a beautiful guitar.is that a swamp ash body?
i think this specific g&l sound better than this specific Fender, but it doesn't say nothing, evrey guitar has its special tone. im sure that the best of the stratocsters sounds better than the best of the G&Ls.
thank you for sharing Marty! hey whats the brown dot on back of head stock. it looks like wood filler my G&L Strat has that on there I thought is was a factory 2nd ? when I bought it used mine is a1998
Hi Thomas
I read that the dot is from a jig used in manufacture on American g & l guitars, l have two usa g & l guitars and a Japanese tribute, they are all amazing.
@@steveunderwood3139 thank you that makes sense
string lock
The main reason I prefer G&L over Fender is 22 frets.
Atomic Apocalypse Many of Fender's guitars have 22 frets
what's the song at 3:40?
