SHERGOLD Masquerader
LIMITED EDITION

MASQUERADER 6 STRING
This versatile twin pick-up instrument embodies all the refinements suggested by top players in the music scene.
Construction
The neck is precision machined and hand finished from seasoned Canadian hard rock maple. The fingerboard is burnished and fretted by hand with generous camber nickel silver T-section fret wire. Sealed with durable polyester. The Shergold counter-adjustable truss rod maintains perfect level of action with any gauge of string. The hand cut and fitted bone fingerboard nut ensures correct string spacing at the first fret.
Body
Selected kiln dried hardwood chosen for stability and grain. Dimensioned and shaped to give maximum rigidity without excessive weight. Polyester finish.
Electronics
The bottom selector switch controls the fingerboard pick-up in forward position, both pick-ups in centre and bridge pick-up in back position. The middle switch selects single coil superflux type in forward, out of phase in the centre and 1 normal humbucker in back position for bridge pick-up. Combinations of the second and third switches with the first pick-up selector offer a greater amount of tone changes without natural harmonic interference.
Pick-ups
High output humbuckers with individual pole adjustment. Special covers eliminate magnetic eddies to give maximum harmonic range. Sealed in wax.
Bridge and Tailpiece
Individual string height adjustment from six bridge saddles. Harmonic correction by six easily accessible screws located at front of the bridge by hexagon socket key supplied. All Shergold models are available in a choice of finishes including: sunburst, natural, white, red and black. Left-hand models can be supplied at a surcharge of 10%.

Electronics & Pickups
High output humbucking pick-ups with individual pole adjustment to control the response from every string. Special covers generating no magnetic eddies for maximum harmonic range. Sealed in wax.
Controls
Volume and tone and 3 selector switches. The selector switch nearest the bridge selects the fingerboard pick-up in the forward position, both pick-ups in the centre and bridge pick-up in the back position. The second switch selects single coil superflux type in the forward position. Out of phase in the centre, and normal humbucker in the back position on the bridge pick-up only. The third switch operates the same as the second, but on the fingerboard pickup only. The combination of the second and third switches in conjunction with the first pick-up selector enable a greater number of tone changes without interfering with the natural harmonics. The overall effect is to select your own particular pick-up sound as you would in a custom guitar.
Bridge and Tailpiece
Individual string height can be adjusted from the six saddles. Harmonics can be corrected by six long screws accessible from the front of the bridge by allen key supplied.
