The old www.shergold.demon.co.uk address for the page is now completely dead after six months of redirecting to the official site. Let me know if any search engines still refer to the old site - they are being very slow to pick up the "new" location.
Minor updates - no new stuff at the moment. Due to the impending Millennial period I don't expect to be doing much in the way of updates for a few weeks, as I'm likely to be working while most other people are recovering from hangovers...

A full transcript and accompanying pictures are now up for the excellent 1977 Shergold factory visit magazine article from Paul Day's archive.

Some of the new material from Paul Day's archive is beginning to appear now - transcripts of the Complete Guitar Guide reviews and the Mike Rutherford review of the Marathon Six.
Also I now have an early Masquerader in my collection.

Loads more information will be coming soon - I had a very productive visit to Paul Day earlier this month which has provided lots of new reviews, catalogues, adverts and clarifications of dates and models. Also there are some interesting new leads on some odd Shergolds such as the Cavalier / Modulator hybrid.
All this new stuff (about 30 pages of A4) will be arriving on the site as soon and as I can transcribe and/or scan them. There should be enough to keep me going for a couple of months... Then I can start on the other half of Paul's Shergold related files that I didn't take copies of! To give you some idea of whats coming, I've put in some of the new headings in the index below...
There is also first-hand information about the Activator as the one that was in Paul Day's collection is now in my collection!

Several new additions to the Classifieds page.

A source has at last been found for those elusive 6 string bass sets...
The site is now listed on GuitarSite.com and Yahoo! and Yahoo! UK and Ireland (where the site actually tops the list as the only exact category match when searching for just "shergold"!).

Apologies if you've been expecting an email reply from me over the last few weeks - it has been rather chaotic recently with work and dentistry - while the teeth are much improved now, the work continues to be a large draw on my time, so updates, answers and progress reports are likely to be a bit delayed for the next few weeks too.
Please bear with me - I will get round to everything I said I'd do.
Scans of a new mentions of Shergolds in print have been added - transcripts of the text to follow when time allows; also the first pictures of a Shergold Upright Electric bass.

Just catching up on all the minor updates, and processing the massive backlog of email I've accumulated - I don't know if its just coincidence, but since I became shergold.co.uk, the number of new email contacts has shot up...

I've finally got the screen grabs of the Shergold appearances with Joy Division and New Order onto the site.

There isn't likely to be much change on the site and email is likely to go unanswered for a week or so, as I've just had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted!

Just a few minor updates to get the appearance of a Shergold on BBC 1's "Top Of The Pops" programme into the TV page; A very nice Hayman 2020 in the Gallery; and newly found Shergold mention on the website for the group "Picasso".

Welcome to a new era for the Shergold Guitars homepage!
As you will have noticed, the old 'demon' address for the homepage now tells you to come here instead. Hopefully, being www.shergold.co.uk now will draw in more people who would otherwise have not bothered with trawling the search engines, and also give the site priority in the indexes, over the thousands of references to that other (in)famous Shergold...

While I was transferring it, I've taken the chance to restructure the site a bit to make maintenance easier, so let me know if any links don't work or images are missing.

Just some updated scans on the main Handouts page, scans of the E&MM article on the Modulator 12 string.

Just a few quick updates to get details of yet another acquisition online - a Nu Meteor.

Just a few quick updates to get details of my latest acquisition online - a Marathon 6 string bass.

Still a bit behind on updates - work and play have been taking priority again!
Anyway, I've added some new photos of the Activator and Marathon I'm building now that they have come back from being sprayed, as well as some new information confirming the existence of the Upright Double Bass, and the text transcript of a 1982 review of the Modulator 12.

Less updates than I'd have like to have done by now, but other pressures are taking time from the website at present - anyhow, the Module 2 circuit diagram is back having had the phasing arrangement corrected.

Apologies to all who have mailed me recently for the lack of the usual speedy response - work (the thing that pays for this obsession!) has been very hectic lately, and the last thing I wanted to do in the evenings is spend more hours staring at a computer...
Anyway, there are some minor updates around the place, and the first few adverts are in the classifieds page - this is really beginning to feel like a proper community...

Not much changed since last time (I've spent a few weeks trying to have a life away from computers!) - a few tweaks here and there, and a couple of extra bits on the two Shergold project guitars I'm putting together.

I now have almost complete factory serial number records for 1975-1980. I've emailed details to specific people who've contacted me with serial numbers. Drop me a line with the details if you think I've missed you off.

The rest of the newly found advertising material has been uploaded - transcripts of text parts to follow.
On a sadder note, an obituary for Jack Golder from 1992 is now online.

Loads more contemporary advertising material has arrived - about half of it is up, with a load of Modulator stuff to follow. Also there is now a fledgling For Sale & Wanted page as well as a small update to the New Order page.

Updates to many pages for new information received in the last couple of weeks, and a bit of redecorating with the colours - let me know if it looks awful...

HOT NEWS: The search for the Mystery Shergold is over! The Shergold Trojan makes its first offical appearance!
Also, I now have a factory fresh Marathon bass and a Stereo Module 4...
A few more original ex-stock Marathons are still available, as are some various necks and bodies - Sorry, but there is no hardware (pickups, bridges etc) left. Contact me for details...
There won't be any updates for the next week or so, and email to me probably won't get the usual speedy reply, as I'll be in Paris this week on business - anyone know any decent music shops there? ;)

More updates to the Modules page - Module 5 has finally relinquished its secrets, and I now know for certain what each switch does!. The slight numbering mistake has been corrected on the other 4 circuit diagrams, too.

Updates to the Modules page - I've finally got round to doing some circuit diagrams for the modules (4 out of 7 so far).
Also, there will hopefully be some good news on a limited quantity of genuine Shergold spare parts and serial numbers/ production dates within the next week or two - exciting stuff!

Happy New year everyone!
Hopefully 1999 will see some leaps forward in the level of access I have to key Shergold people and information - watch this space...
In the mean time, there is some newly arrived information on those close Shergold relatives - Hayman and from the same source there is some new background on Shergold itself.

Just some new-old stuff - I've been meaning to put up some scans of Shergold appearances in my Genesis Tour Programmes for some time, but haven't got round to it before...
