Please post the Reverb link. It is likely a late 90's or early 2000's used guitar which were only for the Japanese market.

Nice guitar !

As I thought, this is an August 1997 built in Japan and sold only in Japan. The G&L Premium S-500 means the body wood is Swamp Ash.
The bridge is a Gotoh tremolo bridge. The pickups were built (same as the US S-500 model) at the Fullerton factory. The wood, hardware and controls
were supplied by the Japanese factory where it was built (to G&L's specifications).

Regarding this specific guitar, as noted in the ad:

Neck condition: a short twist
Fret: Medium remaining
Case: Non-genuine soft case

I would be most concerned about the twisted neck.

Hope this helps.
