The idea of Faiz playing a Don Henley guitar makes me chuckle.

Boys of Bummer.


it's somewhat similar to the Glen Frey model, but the body is a bit different, as the cutaways on mine have a square profile and it's not a rosewood neck:

I have a 6 and a 12.

For the life of me I can't figure out why these aren't Travis Bean popular.
As Jerry Garcia is to the Bean, Mike Rutherford is to the Shergold - the odd player out.
Other famous players are/were Bernard Sumner while in Joy Division, Peter Hook (8 string bass) while in both bands, Julian Cope, Marty Willson-Piper (12 string), Graham Coxon (who also played a the similar Hayman), Adam Franklin.

Go to shergold.co.uk and look up the models produced. Check out the sister company, Hayman.

i just played a hayman for the first time yesterday. pretty kickass. no trussrod though. that's lame.

two badass looking p-bass style pickups, all maple, clear pickguard. just kickass.

I still want an IC 210. The three coil pickup is the bomb. I always figured "Fly Like An Eagle" was played on a Strat from Steve's guitar pile. It was one of these.

It is also capable of grindy, squaky sounds ala MX 80 Sound.
The guitar, I mean, not Steve Miller...

Well, maybe...
