Hi all,

recently purchased a 1979 Shergold Custom Masquerader six-string in good original condition. Here it is:



Not the best-looking guitar in the universe, but lots of character plus excellent sound and playability. These were built by the joiners that had previously built guitars for Burns and Hayman. Hand-crafted in the UK. Some remarkable features like pickups by Re An, maple neck with extra maple fretboard and black binding, body made of obeche wood, versatile electrics. Definitely worth a look and listen.

8) very rare and cool!
They are indeed rare outside the UK and completely underrated, hence not overpriced. A bit quirky and in that respect comparable to a Tokai Hummingbird electric. Excellent craftmanship as well, another similarity to Tokai Japan. Pickups were made by Rean, now part of the Neutrik group. Many innovative features... Love playing it.
