I have a '79 Marauder in black with the black epoxied pickups, rock maple body (yes, it's heavy), three ply maple neck, maple fretboard, black painted headstock, and the mk III controls (blend knob between the master volume and tone). The change from having the blend knob up on the horn seems to have happened when the body route and pickguard were changed to be the same shapes as the S-1 (the bodies both got swimming pool routes, and the pickguards from that point are the same shape with just different cutouts).

Trogly, I have. 1976 marauder in wine red (pickup switch volume and tone knob). The bridge posts use a flat head screw driver to lower and raise the bridge. I was trying to adjust the bridge and the top of one of the posts chipped off (or stripped like you mentioned), making it very hard to turn. Do you know where I can get a new set of posts? Also, it has the see though Bill Lawrence pickups. Are both of these humbuckers or is thebridge single coil?

The "Marauder." I think they're "kinda" rare, in that, nobody stocked that whole series when it came out in the late 1970s. My late, big brother had a Grabber bass with the sliding pick-up and the natural maple finish. That was a good, kick ass bass. I'd put it up against a Fender P-bass from the same era. But, again, not many stores stocked the series at all (in Upstate New York), and, if they did, they did NOT restock them. This series, both guitars and basses, had a big "HUH?" factor to them. If you were going to buy a Gibson, why would you buy a Gibson that didn't LOOK like a Gibson? The Kiss factor didn't hold anybody's attention, and by 1982, these were a curiosity that nobody was looking for. Another note - couldn't you change the strings by threading them up with something between the string and the headstock? Maybe a tube sock or something?

What are the cons of having a scarf joint guitar?
@PaulCooksStuff
2 ай бұрын
From a strength perspective, none, modern glues are stronger than the wood. Jump on the neck and it will break, but not at the joint. From a sustainability perspective, scarf wins, it's a more efficient use of materials. Much less waste. Tradition? Acoustics used scarfs for centuries. So there's not really a "hate progress" argument for it. So you're just left with cosmetics and the people who turn their noses up at an efficient, sustainable and strong construction technique because it's "cheaper" to produce than a more wasteful single piece neck and under a transparent finish will usually (but not always) have a visible seam line.
@ChrisShortyAllen

@henrygvidonas9573
2 ай бұрын
Yes, what Paul Cook said. On a neck with a non-transparent finish? None! On a neck with a transparent finish? Some people don't like how it looks. Usually the same kind of people who don't mind the glued-on side pieces on the insta-snap-off Les Paul headstocks, to get them to the right width. Strictly mechanically, necks with pronounced angled headstocks _with_ scarf joints are superior in every way. Just for the way the wood fibres are cut to almost comically short lengths in severly angled headstocks from the same piece of wood as the rest of the neck, alone. If Fender Telecasters had headstocks at 17° angles, those would crack or snap off if you just looked at them wrong, too. Because the fibres in it would be half the length of a matchstick, just like on a Les Paul or SG. By the way, the volute on the 1970s models only somewhat protects the most vulnerable part of the headstock on Gibsons. Nine tenths of the angled headstock are still as mechanically weak as before, because the wood fibres in it are so ridiculously short. Scarf neck joints were invented by master luthiers centuries ago, to solve that mechanical, structural weakness - by having longer, stronger wood fibres in the headstock and having that part of the neck attached to the rest of it with a glued joint that has as much surface as possible. Those luthiers understood mechanics and wood structure. Unlike the people who came up with the original Les Paul headstock... You know why the old Gibson Melody Maker headstocks looked they way they did? Because they were regular necks without those side pieces (or "wings" as people like Trogly call them) glued on. Fender sawed parts off existing necks and bodies to make the Maverick and Swinger models - Gibson just didn't glue parts on for the most affordable student model, to save costs.
