{"product_id":"864229","title":"Gibson VINTAGE Marauder '75 Natural","description":"The Marauder, featuring a body shape reminiscent of a Les Paul and a headstock like a Flying V, debuted in 1975. It has enjoyed immense popularity, especially since the 2000s, due to its use by various artists in Japan. It is estimated that around 7,000 units were produced between 1975 and 1979, as listed in the catalog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【body】\u003cbr\u003e The total weight is approximately 3.4 kg. The body material appears to be alder, as seen in early production models. The natural color, with its clearly visible wood grain, has a nice, slightly aged look. Weather checking, dents, scratches, belt buckle marks on the back of the body, paint peeling from use, and tarnishing on the metal parts are visible, mainly around the wood grain, giving it a good vintage instrument feel and condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【neck】\u003cbr\u003e The neck, featuring an eye-catching FV-style headstock, is a detachable (bolt-on) maple neck with a scarf joint construction. The fingerboard is made of rosewood. There is some wear to the brand logo, age-related unevenness at the scarf joint, a smooth, worn finish on the back of the neck from use, and tarnishing on the metal parts, giving it a lovely vintage feel, just like the body. The tuners function well, although there is some slight variation in the tightness of the windings. The frets and nut have been replaced once and show only minor wear, resulting in good playability. The nut width is 42.8mm. It can be said to have a relatively solid neck shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Electrical System]\u003cbr\u003e The controls consist of a 3-way pickup selector, master volume, and master tone. The pickups are clear-covered humbuckers and bar-blade pickups developed specifically for this model. The control components, including the pickups, are all original parts from that era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This Gibson guitar boasts a rare alder body and bolt-on construction, resulting in a crisp attack and clear tone. In the neck position, it delivers a full, well-defined, and clear sound, while in the bridge position, it offers a strong attack and bright character. Clean sounds offer beautiful separation, while crunch and overdrive sounds unleash a raw, aggressive rock sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Gibson Flight Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.4kg\u003cbr\u003e Body Material (Top\/Back): Alder 3 piece\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material\/Scale Length: Maple w\/scarf joint head\/624mm (24-1\/2inch)\u003cbr\u003e Bridge\/Tail: Gibson Wide Travel Tune-O-Matic, chrome\/Stop Tailpiece, chrome\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard\/Fret Marker\/Radius: Rosewood\/Pearloid dot\/304.8mm (12inch)\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width\/Fret Width: 42.8mm (replaced)\/2.5mm (replaced), 22F\u003cbr\u003e Neck Thickness (1F\/7F\/12F): 20.4mm\/23.2mm\/24.2mm\u003cbr\u003e Pickup (Neck\/Bridge): Gibson Marauder Super Humbucker, 7.4kΩ\/Gibson Blade Single Coil Pickup, 2.4kΩ\u003cbr\u003e *The DC resistance value of the pickup is measured after passing through the control section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43781707890801,"sku":"864229","price":1932.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/864229_01.jpg?v=1785481555","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/864229","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
