“Blends Shergold’s rich bass heritage with contemporary appeal”: Shergold’s new Telstar Bass repackages one of the firm’s best electric designs of recent years into a low-end format

Shergold Telstar and Libertien Bass Guitars .

Last year, we at Guitar World raved about Shergold Guitar’s Telstar, believing its swish, modern take on the Telecaster to be one of 2023’s best-value electric guitar. Now, the firm has created a bass guitar version of the lauded build, which launches alongside another new bass template, the Libertine.

The mission for the 30” scale Telstar Bass was to “seamlessly blend Shergold’s rich bass heritage with the contemporary appeal of the award-winning Telstar series”, and at first glance, it looks like mission accomplished.
