FS - Fender Marauder in Lake Placid Blue

edited May 2015 in Guitars £
Great little guitar these. Fender Maruader, made in China. Kyoto wood body, 22 frets, 25.5" scale length. 
I have upgraded the Trem block to a wilkinson unit which is a lot fatter. 
Its hardly been played and is in very good condition. The neck is on the thinner side and the guitar is pretty light weight. 
The stock JM pickup is pretty good to be fair. The stock trembucker is a bit marmite. The humbucker setting is good, the trembucker is more humbucker + single inbetween sound rather than all 3 coils together. I was going to put a P-Rails into this as I think it would be ideal for the guitar. 

Based in Northampton. I travel to South Cambridge 3 times a week and I am known to go up to Macclesfield once in a while

Looking for £220 on this with softcase. Can post for £20 - £25. 

Please feel free to ask any questions.

The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    8 months ago I was searching everywhere for one of these. Unfortunately for you I'm settled on 2 specific guitars now, and really don't require anything else.

    Although it would be quite nice to have one I certainly don't need it, and I have to say that if I owned it it would get relic'd! Anyway, free bump for a nice guitar.

    Hello @Sarge ;

    not really after a trade to be honest fella. I'm trying to strip back to the bare essentials.
