Some things are created by machines or design companies going thru endless iterations, trying different things and asking focus groups how they rate certain elements. Someone who understands what makes an instrument unique and special. Someone who creates a unique canvas onto which you paste your own masterpiece. Nothing genuinely inspirational ever came from a committee. Patrick James Eggle has b
een designing and building guitars for nearly 40 years, and it is his vision that you are seeing in Shergold. During the late 1970s and early 80s, Shergold guitars and basses were powering icons of the era such as Genesis, New Order and Joy Division, but even then, Shergold was a choice made by those who wanted to stand up and be counted. Those who wanted to push boundaries and break the mould. Those who were creating something new and unique. Based in the Shropshire headquarters of Barnes & Mullins, Patrick and his team have worked tirelessly creating a 21st century guitar designed for power with a stage-ready setup. Handmade in our workshop in Indonesia, staffed by highly trained, skilled guitar builders, each guitar is carefully setup by Patrick and his team prior to leaving our base in the UK.
