Shergold Masquerader Classic SM04, Thru-Black Overview
The Shergold Masquerader Classic SM04 is an iconic British guitar, redesigned for the 21st century. On this model sits a duo of Seymour Duncan pickups. A TB-4 bridge and '59 neck configuration provides a powerful and resonant sound. And with its versatile controls and bell-type black knobs with silver caps, the SM04 provides endless tonal possibilities for budding musicians or seasoned players alike.
Crafted with solid mahogany and a hand burnished neck, this instrument offers a dark, rich tone that is perfect for all styles of rock 'n' roll. The thru-black finish allows its mahogany grain to show through its immaculate high gloss sheen, creating an eye-catching aesthetic that stands out from the crowd.
