Fender Musical Instruments Modern Player Marauder - Lake Placid Blue

Description

Throughout its history, Fender has always made a special point of welcoming new players to the family by offering entry-level instruments of remarkable style and substance (such as the Duo-Sonic, Mustang and Musicmaster models), with great sound, classic looks, solid performance and eminent affordability. The Modern Player series continues that great my-first-Fender tradition, with thoroughly modern features and several distinctively unconventional new takes on our most revered instruments-all with outstandingly attainable value.

In addition to heralding the return of a fabled and seldom-heard Fender name from the 1960s, the Modern Player Marauder is one of the most distinctive new guitars in the family, uniquely marked by a new body style, Modern Player Jazzmaster neck pickup and volcanic-sounding three-coil Fender Triplebucker bridge pickup. Other features include a koto body, C-shaped maple neck, rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo frets, five-way pickup switching with lower horn blade selector switch, four-ply aged white pearloid pickguard, Jazz Bass-style control knobs, vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners and nickel/chrome hardware. Available in Black and Lake Placid Blue.

with a handful of L&M gift cards and a sweet xmas bonus, I went into the store planning to spend a whack of money on something shiny, new, and expensive. Something I could brag about. I loved the look of this guitar, it's got character, but the price was lower than what I was looking to spend. I picked it up anyways, and holy crap. I quickly learned that a pricetag is no way to judge a guitar. Or maybe it is. So I tried a few others. But the Marauder kept calling me. The sound, the tones, the feel, the playability. I fell in love with EVERYTHING about this guitar. I'm a casual guitar player, so take that into account. I'm not into specs, and I don't know a lot about the technical side of things. But I am very, very happy with this guitar. My epiphone has gone back into its case, and will likely stay there. Posted by anonymous on Mar 1, 2013

I love this guitar. It does thick, smooth, strat-like tones to jangly surf chime and lots in between. I'd buy it again in a second if I were to lose it. Posted by anonymous on Oct 15, 2012

The build quality of this guitar at this price point is truly amazing. The tonal range of this guitar is very versatile for just about any style of music. The P-90-like Jazzmaster neck pick is very bluesy, and the triplebucker at the bridge is capable of some very heavy tones. Love this guitar. Posted by anonymous on Aug 22, 2012

Plays great and sounds incredible for a guitar in this price range. The pup configuration allows for a range of sounds/tones to accomodate nearly any style. A steal at this price. Well done Fender! Posted by anonymous on Jun 13, 2012
