Such a beautifully built guitar! Congrats.....and so much a part of the Surfragettes sound. 🔊🎶🎸👍

[@barrywebber100]

The Shaguar is lovely and so are you Shermy! Thanks for posting.

[@AgentJayZ]

The expression on your face completely changes when you start playing. You sport an extremely confident smirk. You go from " I hope you like this" to "Oh, you're going to love this". It's in your eyes from 5:43 to 5:45. The transformation is just amazing. Love the band!

These ladies are the best surf band oModern times

[@TheDreamboats]

Always such great attention to detail in everything that you ladies do...from style, to recording/guitar tones, to artwork, to overall aesthetics-- Right on!

A girl guitarist with the heart of an engineer! Gotta LOVE it!!

[@accidentals_hacks]

I love how surf music from 60 years ago is making a strong comeback in 2020's....

[@akmadsen]

It's been back for a while. Check out The Tremolo Beer Gut and Messer Chups, they've been going strong for 20+ years. :) I just discovered The Surfrajettes, and I'm totally diggin' it!

[@fredmertz9950]

We've all had it with the Beibers of the music world.

[@timwright3592]

I am NOT a musician by any stretch. Although I appreciate various skills people have. Your Guitar is a work of art by various artists. Well done! It has excellent sound !

[@jamescrainjr1388]

great review. love that dress! awesome doesn't begin to describe you and what your group is doing. breath of fresh air in this vapid, soulless world. great job hun by you and all the ladies!

[@brianhadley527]

Interesting to hear about the build and the different people who helped make your sparkly metal flake vision a reality.

[@swiftdog3610]

Nice! Love the custom touches, Shermy! I usually tweak my guitars and basses as well. Haven't gone so far as to repaint the body and headstock though! I have been ensnared by the siren song of the custom shop, too. It's addictive. Got one Custom Shop Charvel San Dimas already and just put in an order for a Custom Shop Charvel SoCal. G.A.S. is real, people!

[@davidburlington3659]

Shermy, thanks for explaining how you customized your Jaguar. I come from the world of car customizing, so I really appreciated how you changed up the guitar to make it your own. Looking forward to seeing you guys in Charleston, SC in May. Kudos!

[@4stringz.]

i LOVE the hologram pickups !!!

[@vonginti]

Shaggy is so shiny and sounds awesome!

[@duncanjames9477]

Good project. It’s cool that you knew exactly what you wanted and it ended up that way.

Awesome custom, I had a Purple Metalflake 60s fender 🎸

Cute dress Shermy! I love all the shiny mini dresses yall wear for concerts!

[@BushidoPhoto]

Surf Green nail polish, nice touch! The pickups are cool and the finish is amazing. I love listening to you and seeing your progress as a musician.

[@bernardthiery2001]

Thank you Shermy, for this presentation, of your guitar named Shermy, with the pleasure of the sound of your voice, best regards Bernard

[@marksmodelworx]

Top tip from a scale modeller who uses lacquer over decals every day, is just brush a small amount of Johnsons/Pledge Kleer floor polish over the decal and allow to dry prior to the lacquer coat. You dont need to coat the whole headstock just enough to seal the decal edges.

[@markferguson3745]

Tru Oil is the secret weapon .Even a lot of younger luthiers don't know about it, - old school.Originally used on gun stocks, and you could find it at sporting goods shops, but now it's only on line. Same concept as the Future, but levels flat and dries as hard as glass, - not sticky.Awesome on guitar finishes and necks.

[@marksmodelworx]

@@markferguson3745 Sounds just like Future. Same exact qualities Although Ive never used the Future formula. I purchased 10 bottles of Kleer before the formulation changed around 2011, and still got 6 bottles left

[@theothersideisjustashard3237]

Great tone and great playing as always

[@joekurtz8303]

Not your average run of the mill Nice Rig Rundown. 🎸Just like a custom car, personal touches make it that much better. Keep bringing us that funky 🌊music!

[@mattwall1090]

What an awesome job on the Jaguar! I did something of the same to my Fender MIM Classic Player Jaguar, but went a bit more vintage traditional (Olympic White, Red tortoise guard, Upgraded bridge, Fender noiseless stacked single coils, rewired to custom specs and electronics). This is something all you, and completely unique. There's no words for how cool your instrument is, love the finish, love the pickups, love the whole thing, You guys are amazing!

[@christopherguzzi1316]

Love your guitar!!! The color and sparkle are fantastic. I have an HB double cut junior in Pelham Blue that reminds me a bit of your guitar. Thank you for sharing. 😀😄😁

[@sfgylk34u_57]

Everything is beautiful: the woman, the dress and the guitar!

[@MrElvin1963]

Beautiful!! And the guitar is nice too! Thanks for the rundown! Great job!!

[@grisgrismck]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and admiring your Jaguar from afar. This up close look and detailed description of how you got it and how it was modified is fantastic.

[@solarismoon3046]

Most people aren't knowledgeable about guitars but I AM a master luthier and I have been for over thirty years. I do EVERYTHING inside and out of musical instruments - not just guitars. I make my own parts not just necks and bodies. This is really cool to look at. You could've started out with the Johnny Marr signature Jaguar as your building platform. It has the three way switch although it's very expensive. Those gold foil pickups sound great although the original ones were in garbage guitars back in the day you can do some really impressive music with them. I know they're not cheap because of the DeArmond name but that's all hype. I live in USA but I am three hundred miles or so from you. It's good to see that there are women out there that understand music and surf music at that! It's also good that you know your guitar and how to make the best music with it that you can. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us although I just watched it for the first time today.

[@jrw6061]

Cool 😎 guitar 🎸🤩 you rock Shermy more videos soon please ‼️🙏🏻

[@ericksantosabreu9781]

Beautiful bass in the background!

[@jeffdugger3276]

From body shop painter to guitar painter makes sense, especially when a person considers that Fender has historically used Dupont automotive paint for many of their builds. Your Shaggy looks badass, by the way.

[@thedave2429]

That is a beautiful guitar. Well done Shermy!

[@rideough]

I’ve done a few Jaguars myself, but the first time I saw the Shaguar, my jaw hit the floor! Amazing ideas and beautiful guitar.

[@richardbowen9898]

Your band is great Shermy!!

[@andrewburger7627]

Love the girl and the guitar ! And I'm a big sucker for painted headstocks !

“Sooo, I made the irresponsible decision...”...can’t count how many times I’ve uttered those same words 🤣🤣🤣. Makes life more interesting 😉

[@markferguson3745]

Indeed.The best stories are when you live to tell about them, without permanent emotional or physical trauma. Lot of bad people out there.

[@johnnyjohnson6643]

What a cool friggin' guitar! Your customizations were awesome; I hope the Shaguar has many more years of play ahead.

[@williampamblanco]

Great story and a wonderful sounding end result! Sounds like it was a blast to build. Love the mid-high sparkle on the sound, matches the look well.

[@BruceColon-BSides]

Awesome guitar. Love the customizations.

[@klausrusswurm3506]

Cool Guitar Shermy, the Sound is really good, have fun with your Guitar. 🎙️🎼🎹🎵🎶🎛️🎚️🎧🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👍😊

[@-davidolivares]

I like Squiers also, mainly ’51s, they’re great to mod. Actually, I have been lucky to find 3 modded Squier’51s, two with single and dual lipsticks and one with a nice chrome humbucker in the bridge and tele pu in the neck. Great to see you, sherm on, Peace and Music

[@davidmiller1218]

That's a great custom Jaguar, the sparkle finish w painted headstock is just right for surf/rock music. I have a 1962 re-issue Jag and a newer model w modified controls. I like that clear tone you get with that guitar, too. I need to find that sound with the amps I have. Thanks for the video rundown.

[@kirby1ist]

You mention Toronto .. Happy Canada Day , with reflection, and welcome to Stage 2 , I hope that I will be able to see you perform sometime. I am older tis true , I grew up with the surf sound as well as The Boss and more. I saw your video from Asbury Park, it was great. Be well and stay safe.

[@Chris-Top-HerB]

Being a Brit, one of my favourite slang words for the art of making love is shag. When I saw the Shermy Shaguar notification, my imagination just took off. 😍😍🥰😜🤪✌😎😎😎😎

[@bbcblibberbroadcastingcorp2651]

Shaguar! That sure is a swell guitar, Shermy!

[@robertbodle2354]

i love this story. i have the same basic guitar but kept it red and diff pickups - pure vintage 65's.

The Shaguar is amazing and the sound is gorgeous. I wish you and your band all the success you deserve.

What a lovely surprise, Shermy for a few minutes. Notice how little buckle rash there was.

The Jags are wonderful guitars, I gave my 1990s reissue to a friend so she could start her own band, it is Candy Apple red 🕺

Love your tone and gear, thanks for sharing the details.

[@mplsmark222]

If Mike Meyers were to ever make another Austin Powers film, it would be great if he could find a way to feature his fellow Canadians. Not as a love interest for him ( that would be creepy), but rather intriguing villains. Love the whole sound, fashions, life style and of course these charming young women. Hope they can find a place in the business to make decent living. They have chosen an eclectic genre, interesting how they make 60 year old music sound so fresh.

Nice guitar! My uncle was in band in the early 60s called the Gemtones that played similar music. They were based in Moncton but toured all over the Maritimes and Quebec. You can hear their song Reno on KZbin

[@bigbobvub]

Spectacular! Beyond gorgeous!! Oh, look! She's holding a guitar!!

[@LadobaBr]

I love you guys! You are such an inspiration for me. I am also a guitarrist/singer/songwritter from Brazil. I saw you playing in Toronto in 2018 and you girls were so so nice to me! I am a huge fan, wish you all the best always. It was very cool to see this video and learn everything about your special guitar!

[@chrisst8922]

Where did you see them? Is it one of the performances on line?

[@LadobaBr]

@@chrisst8922 No I actually saw them playing live. The gig was called Great Lakes Surf Battle 13, it happened at the Cadillac Lounge, June 2nd 2018, in Toronto. Its a pub in Queen Street. They are awesome. I actually met them, talked to them. Really nice people and brilliant on stage.

[@chrisst8922]

@@LadobaBr Great. There's film of them there in April '18 but unfortunately not in June. You're so lucky, by the time they're able to get to the UK I might be able to say that I was in the same field.

[@LadobaBr]

@@chrisst8922 They never came to my country either but I was lucky to spend holidays/vacations (sorry for my English) in Toronto in the summertime so I got to see them and Jack White while I was there hahahahaha. I lived in the UK in London in 2014...I love it. London had gigs every single day when I lived there, great times! And cheaper tickets too, in Brazil its very expensive. Now with the pandemic we are totally doomed, I think foreign bands won't come here for a long time.

[@chrisst8922]

@@LadobaBr Agreed. The trouble in the UK is that there's been so much development and residents object to loud music at venues. So music has moved to fields. The Surfrajettes must be aware of the heritage of the British market. A lot depends on what happens in the world.

It sounds awesome and love the colour. Also love the story of how it came to be to and to say you bought out of some guys sketchy basement it turned out good. Awesome video enjoy your week hope you had a good Easter to. 😀😀😀

My lost dream was to get a Tony DeLacugo Excelsior Bass in Silver and blue sparkle. His paintjobs and guitar shapes were phenomenal. He even did the back of the neck. He was up in Paso Robles, back then. I missed buying one from him for 2k, which was a TON$ back then. Love the "Shermy Shaguar"!

[@jerrym3261]

Yeah, I've heard what you and Nicole can do with guitars and amps Norm Harris had in the shop. I like hearing about the guitar but, I know where the sound comes from. I do believe guitars are a definite inspiration, you almost always play one different than another but, it's always at least 90% the person playing the guitar.

[@dboy6400]

I bought my Strat in '64 only because I couldn't afford a Jazzmaster or Jaguar. Unbelievably, those two became nearly extinct until recently. I rewired my Strat to sound like a Jag by enabling the bridge and neck pickups together to sound like Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys.

[@arsbadmojo]

That paint job is so tasty. I don't know squat about those pickups, but they sound great!

[@jacko9179]

I love it when guitars have a cool origin story, it shows how much you dig your instrument and how much you want it to be an extension and representation of yourself.
