Dial the Shergold Masquerader sound in on your own rig
British double-cutaway solidbody from Shergold of Daventry, with two humbuckers and coil-split and phase switching that give it a wider range of thin, hollow and fat voices than its Telecaster-style outline suggests. Bernard Sumner played one on Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, where it supplies the cold, trebly, slightly brittle guitar that sits above the bass.
