Quarantine Recordings

Ep. 258

This episode of Guitar Nerds is brought to you by Shergold Guitars and their latest electric guitar, the Provocateur!


Celebrated by Total Guitar Magazine as “one of the most refined single-cuts on the market, with endlessly satisfying playability and a flawless set of tones”, the Shergold Provocateur combines remarkable specification with a retro vibe for a unique and bona fide rock guitar.


From the brand that once powered the likes of Joy Division and is now championed by modern guitar pioneers And So I Watch You From Afar and many others comes a fresh and exciting range of electric guitars.


Designed by legendary British guitar luthier Patrick James Eggle and featuring a roasted mahogany neck and a solid mahogany body loaded with USA-made Seymour Duncan pickups, it’s easy to see why Guitarist Magazine officially voted the Provocateur one the ‘Best Electrics of 2019’.


You can find your nearest Shergold dealer here … And if you’re not in the UK, don’t fear, many UK based Shergold dealers have super awesome international shipping options to guarantee your Shergold will make it to you in the most far-flung of places.


We’ve teamed up with ThorpyFX to giveaway one ThorpyFX Heavy Water Duel High Headroom Boost pedal. Highly ranked by all the Nerds in last year’s GOTY as an absolutely fantastic make gooderer!


Entry is open globally and all you have to do is visit Guitar Nerds on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter - find the entry post and answer the question:


What is one piece of merchandise available for purchase from the ThorpyFX website? To find the answer visit thorpyfx.com


We will be announcing the winner on the 8th April right here on the podcast using our spinning wheel of nerdery - so you have until Monday 6th April to enter.


This week on The Guitar Nerds Podcast, Joe, Matt, Mark and Jay take loads of questions from the Facebook Group and talk all about the great range of free software that you can pick up right now to make your very own Quarantine Record!
