Guitarist and bandleader Marissa Paternoster has played G&L S-500s since she can remember. She got her first S-500 (above) as a gift from her father when she first started playing guitar. She’s not much for tinkering because she likes these models as they are, but had a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails put in the bridge. However, she admits to not liking the sound of the pickup and generally plays in the middle position.
