Shermy's Creature Guitar from Creston Electric!

Hello everyone! As requested we have started to film run-downs of our gear! First up is Shermy with her new "Creature" guitar from Creston Electric!
P.S. The scratchy noises at the end are a faulty patch cord...

I'm glad you went with the matching headstock, that detail gets overlooked often enough.

Surf music is still alive? This is the best news I've heard all day!

[@Zoologic21]

She knows exactly what she's doing.

[@richardhermans4457]

Awesome! I was in HS in the early 60's and surf music was our thing, even in the midwest of Michigan. Love the guitar and your 60's outfit. You nailed it. Keep the music alive!

[@richardortiz8704]

Right on I like the guitar from the '60s thank you God bless I like rock rock on

[@stevecuz4751]

Sounds very crisp and authoritative. Takes the reverb fully too. Nice guitar. And gosh, Shermy sure is beautiful, yeppa.

[@monaural2.988]

Another great sign that women are now the torch carriers for Rock n Roll. The Surfrajettes are one of many bands to keep the beat flowing. Awesome guitar, Shermy!

[@peaceonearth8693]

Maybe what you say is true, but the Surfrajettes are really in a subset or corner of rock n roll, yes? The main patient is still on life support as I see it.

[@deaddoll1361]

@@peaceonearth8693 Yet music shops and instrument manufacturers seem to have a huge range of guitar types, brands and accessories, with an incredible variety of boutique pedals and amps alone. Considering there's nothing more rock and roll as far as instruments go than guitars, an instrument that dominates most music shops, I'd suggest the patient is much healthier than the doomsayers predict.

[@chrisst8922]

@@deaddoll1361 Good point. The difficulty, I suggest, is that the industry finds it easier to promote an individual: Taylor, Madonna, Miley, Elvis as opposed to a group and that they think the audience, especially women are obsessed with dancing which leads to MOR and hip-hop. Nonetheless I believe the Surfrajettes may have a strong wider appeal.

[@lordporcupine8767]

What a stupid comment, how Greta Van Fleet, T Bryant and The Shakedown...etc. etc. Great to see a good band though. Surfeited are awesome

[@sunnyztmoney]

Wow the world really has sunk so low

[@dannyc1174]

Nice guitar, Shermy. I'm a personal friend of Creston Lea, owner and builder of the guitar. He's in Burlington VT. I played his wedding. He's a great builder and also plays surf, as well as many other kinds of music and, further, is also a fan of the band I'm in, The Starline Rhythm Boys. He has really developed his business and is now known world wide. BTW, I dig the Surfrajettes - great playing; great 60's look. I know you young gals are really in to it - just wonderful that you're carrying on the tradition. People say, "they're from Canada" - no surf there (well that ain't really true). So what? The Astronauts, a great 60's surf band from Boulder CO (now THAT'S landlocked!) had a good minor hit with Baja, a Lee Hazelwood composition, in '63. So stay on it, Shermy - you gals are delivering the surf goods in your own way/style. And remember, Surf basically celebrates 60 yrs (!) in 2021.

[@whssy]

Denmark kept surf going long after it was on hiatus elsewhere. And no surf beaches there either.

[@dannyc1174]

@@whssy You are right about this. In fact, other Scandanavian countries also. Some great instrumental music from over there.

[@shaneminor2367]

Shermy that guitar is really you! You can never have enough guitars. Lol I appreciate you girls keeping this music and sound alive. I grew up listening to my dad play music from groups like the Ventures and the Animals. Your sound really takes me back! Thank you for that. Stay safe and keep the videos coming.

[@TheJorgSacul]

I hope to see you playing that in concert, can't be soon enough!

[@kenkrausse3624]

[@shawnmason5551]

Fabulously cool guitar! Thanks for sharing the details about it...love the color!

[@clark9992]

We had that lamp at home when I was a kid. I remember my mom was sitting where you are on the sofa, I was sitting on the arm beside her, so we could both read something in her lap. I absent mindedly reached behind me, my finger went into one of the lamp sockets, which didn't have a bulb in it for some reason. That's how I learned what 110 volts feels like. Great lamp though.

[@chrisst8922]

I love this. The lovely lady comes on to tell us all about the tools of her trade and we reply about lamps....or raccoons. I hope they read through our stuff and laugh out loud.

[@Petemonster62]

I bet it made you jump! But at least a light socket doesn't have anything your finger muscles would latch onto & keep shocking you.

[@michaelkopala3659]

We had a same style lamp when I was a kid. Happily, I never stuck my finger in a socket.

[@Torino2006]

Same thing happened to me. Lol

[@ChitlinsLaundry]

❤️ you Shermy!!

[@KB4QAA]

Looks like a perfect guitar in sounds and looks. The chamfered corner for your forearm is a great touch. Love you Shermy!

You have a good eye. That guitar does fit you and your show perfectly. Too many bands these days show up for gigs looking like they just finished mowing their lawns. I appreciate the effort that goes into changing into stage clothes and back to work clothes for tear down. Been there. You do a great job with your music and presentation.

How are these girls not big stars? Great Musicians,Attractive, Great Retro Music. Girls need to do some soundtracks. Maybe to a Tarantino Movie? Or some TV.

[@mplsmark222]

@@davidleidy9288 David, I am afraid we are living at a time where these women would have to trade their art for fame. I love them as they are, if the traditional track to fame in popular music were to be followed, they would be over produced copy of Taylor Swift ect. Hope I am wrong, if they have a way to break through that would be a great thing for popular music. Wish them all the best and look forward to new music from them.

It sounds superb! I must add, it is a unique take on the offset shape. Slight alterations on the shape and other nuances really change the feel of an instrument on a personal level. As always, I enjoy your playing and I’m looking forward to what you create with it😀.

[@OpenRoader]

Fits you perfectly!

[@DiscMK]

That really is a beautiful guitar! I love how the color is not too flashy, but there still is that sparkle finish and the brown rosewood fingerboard fits in right there! Maple wouldn't look so nice with this. All this combined with the matching headstock!! You need a good name for it!!

I love your Canadian accents. How you say reached- O-U-T and AB-O-U-T, etc.

[@leftymadrid]

Nice, actually very cool looking, it's great to see you girls doing that type of music, I remember when in California we surfed Newport Beach, and all the frontal beach houses would put the same radio station on, was great!!! Summer was full of fun, house parties, music bands a playing, and Heineken, lots of beer!!! Good ol' days!!! Hey, anyone else out there as old as me?! Yep I graduated from high school in 79, and believe you me, 79' was fine!! :-) :-) The best of luck for the group! You girls rock!!

Shermy !!! So much Aloha from Santa Cruz ! Thank you for doing this. I look forward to gear demos coming. Stoopid Cool to hear you sit down in your living room and discuss gear, especially the newest Sparkly Wonder! Also Bonus, is that you're going to become "KZbin Stars" ! To quote yourself or Nicole, don't remember which. Jokes aside, there is a large group of us out here who would love nothing more. We pour over your older videos, and wish for more. 2020 is a debt increasing joke, with Musicians and performers not being able to 'Music and perform'. Do what you Girls need to do, demos, talks, chats, keep in touch ! I'm personally on my way to Creston to check out the 'Shermy' Model, seriously. Your reverb drenched, sparkly, jangly mastery, is what got me to drag out the Jaguar 3 years ago. Surf Guitar is an Art. You Girls do it right! OH, and I want your decor as my living room. Tres' Cool.... /s/ Total fanboy in Santa Cruz California

Would like something smaller and lighter (we rehearse for 4 hours and my back starts to hate me!) so thanks for the demo, definitely one to consider!
