I’ve got this advertised on eBay for £700. It’s a beast of a thing, with unique sounds and it looks… very cool.
So what is it?
Its 1979 Shergold Custom Double – 12 string on top, 6 string on the bottom. And it has been modified – there’s an extra dimarzio between the original ReAn pickups, the 6-string bridge has been changed for a Badass, control/scratchplate has been changed, the switching has been simplified and its now wired for mono. The switches control single coil-off-humbucker for each pickup, and the final one switches between the necks. The dimarzio is wired out of phase with the originals, giving some really unique sounds. Since buying it, I have replaced the volume pot with a 500k CTS job as the original was shot.
Much like Bernie Marsden’s twin neck, if you play on the six string with the 12 string neck’s pickups on you get those amazing ghostly sounds, you can’t get elsewhere. It plays PERFECTLY on both necks and isn’t as heavy as you’d expect. Put it another way, I can cope with it… and I have back issues.
It comes with the original hard case – which, to be honest, is a bit battered and has some hillbilly repairs. But hey, its nearly 40 years old and you look up how much a replacement would cost…
So why am I selling – simply, I really need
the money. I’ve always wanted one of these and when I was offered this by the
Harry Seven Home for Unwanted Oddball Guitars (cheers chap), I jumped at it…
But it has to go – and swiftly. So I’m offering it on here, if someone can come
and get it from me in Northants, pay cash within a week… its yours for £650. £575

And of course, it has the H7 Seal of Approval (which must be worth at least half-a-groat in added value!)

However, it needs a new home. Anyone?
