Shergold Masquerader SM04-SD electric guitar demo

Chris Vinnicombe demos the Seymour Duncan-equipped Masquerader SM04-SD electric through a Lazy J J10LC combo.

Designed by Patrick James Eggle, a UK builder whose reputation is as good as the varied guitars he designs, the one omission from the original Shergold Masquerader production run was a guitar sporting a neck-loaded humbucker: lo and behold, this new SM04 offers a Seymour Duncan SH-1 ’59 to complement the bridge-loaded TB-4 JB Trembucker. They’re controlled by master volume and tone pots, and beneath the latter lurks a push/pull split that solos the inner coils of both pickups.

That’s not all to change, as the SM04 is also the first of the new Masqueraders to offer not only a mahogany neck but also an ebony fretboard. Read the in-depth review here: http://www.theguitarmagazine.com/gear...
