Guitar Nerds
The Return Of Kramer & The Music Man Sabre
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.
This week on Guitar Nerds, the team announce a new and very exciting giveaway for the month of February. Guitar Nerds have teamed up with Mikey Demus and Redbeard Effects to give you the chance to win a Redbeard Red Mist MKIV.
