Must be custom then - the standard width on the Marathon was 42mm at the nut I do believe

Rutherford's Shergold instruments were custom order. The "halves" could travel in separate cases. The modular body construction allowed various permutations of twelve, six and four string. There were even the missing body sections to complete individual guitars, if required.

Awesome! My first bass was a 4040 and I had a Marshall bass 100 too. My cab was a HH 4x12 though.

Pretend that it's blue, with an f-hole and priced according to The Uncertainty Principle.

No, you just can't see past that sort of rarity

I've just bought a new Shergold Masquerader guitar and I love it - such a cool design.

They didn't do a bass in this new reissue range, did they?

[edstraker123]

Ive not seen one but they definitely should.

The newly relaunched Shergold instruments revive the body outlines of old but use them to host, largely, twenty first century hardware and features.

Part of the unique charm of the old Hayman and Shergold instruments was their idiosyncratic approach to hardware design. The bass guitar bridge, for example, had wedge-shaped adjustable saddles, resting on a ramped surface. Action height adjustment was at the ends of the "ramp". I'm surprised that Rickenbacker never sued.
