After introducing the Jazzmaster in 1959 and the Jaguar in 1962, between 1965 and 1966, Fender prototyped the Marauder. There were two "versions" made: Type I, with pickups hidden underneath the pickguard and which are shown in the 1962 catalog, and Type II, with the pickups mounted in a more conventional fashion on the pickguard and never appeared in any catalog. They were never made available to the public and the guitar never officially passed the prototype stage. This handcrafted guitar has 4 hidden pickups in original Marauder Type I configuration and it is "what if.." 12 string variant of original concept. Body is made out of resonant samba wood; maple neck with ebony fretboard inlayed with pearl shell blocks; bone nut. Gotoh bridge. Comes in hardshell case. NOTE: This is NOT Fender guitar!!!!
