’76 Shergold Masquerader – Made in London, UK

RARE! 1976 Post Hayman (transitionary) Shergold handcrafted in London. As used by Bernard Sumner from Joy Division! A nice example and a particularly lightweight one too – 3.4kg. Also featuring the rare and unique ‘Vibrasonic’ spring chamber within the body that resonates

A rare example of these hand-built instruments in black finish (the best colour these were offered in) that has checked & aged in a very attractive way (as they all do), evoking Unknown Pleasures perhaps? Dated November 1976 –

Made in UK by ex-Burns London employee!

Refretted in house at Found Sound by Jon Free (Black Guitars). A new control plate has been manufactured to house the pots and switches (please get in touch if you’d like one as we can offer these reproduction Shergold parts for sale).

Original 100k Volume Pot has been replaced (yes 100k) with 500k pot however includes original pot for posterity.

Includes non original hardshell case.
