I helped hi replace the pickups more than once. Nothing made it sound good which sucked because I prefer bolt on necks, and these were super cheap at the time, so I was going to snag one.

That KEXP vid doesn't sound horrible to me. In the context of that style of music.

Ok, I am going back to this.

IMO, Mac is the only guitarist alive that can make the Marauder sound good.

Interesting. If I ran across one, I would want to play it for a while. I can't help it. I haz interest.

In the newer videos, Mac is playing into a Carr Mercury.

I don't loathe it in the video included in this review either. I seems to have a little fizzy edge maybe? I don't know. Still intrigued. I really don't like the white PG on this one though.

In my experience, there are just some instruments that are dogs. My buddies was one and I'm sure it isn't representative of every Marauder out there. With so many awesome guitars out there, I wasn't willing to go searching for a good Marauder.

So much no....

Just like my personal human shape in real life that has a body I do not want.

When I was first learning to play, I wanted one of these badly. What do you expect from a KISS fan back in 1977.

I always felt this '70's Gibsons were the inspiration for the PRS Miras and Veras and Starlas.

that bridge.......

I’ve always kinda liked those.

Angel Olsen plays one and it sounded pretty alright on Saturday for rhythm and strumming.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Used to own one exactly like that back in the 70s. Had a shoddily repaired classic Gibson neck snap. Wish I still had it. With my knowledge now I could have fixed that. The Bill Lawrence pickups were awesome. I'd rock it in a heartbeat.

 

[yabba]

I've always thought they were kinda cool.

 

[LeftyTom]

Whole lot of meh there.

I never thought it was such a bad little [guitar]. It’s not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love. — Linus Van Pelt, “Peanuts”

Steve, it's ok to dislike something. It doesn't make you a bad or mean person. Now had you said "this thing is uglier than Lady Gaga" like I did, you're an asshole.

See, the important part here, is that you know you're an asshole. It's a big first step.

Come on, we're all assholes in here.

I knew it I'm surrounded by assholes. Keep firing, assholes!

Also, which one is Phillip?
