That is the SECOND prototype version of the Marauder. The first (that even made it into the product catalogue before aborted) looks exactly like kiflas.crazyzeke wrote: This is an interesting insight into the building process, as quite a few threads on OSG are. Thanks! Hope you manage to finish it. Surprised you chose a Strat trem over a Mustang one like on the original though... what's the reasoning there?
This guitar is so awesome. Who owns it?

Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

And BTW - the mark II prototype is owned by Dave's guitars

Wow... that is one sexy beast.kifla wrote:
No offense, but I don't even care about the fact that the pickups are hidden, I would absolutely love to have a guitar with that body shape (maybe slightly darker blue or black).
I wish I had the skillz to put one together and just use a large headstock neck from a strat, even with visible pickups.
I know there's a coolness factor for having replica of something that was never made. From my perspective it's just the fact that it looks like a great design.

Yeah, I agree. I couldn't care less about having an "authentic replica", I just loooove the shape.iodine74 wrote: Wow... that is one sexy beast.

They're all coming along great! Fantastic work, and glad to see you got your plates back.
... I have to ask, once you're finished these two, you going to make a Marauder II then ?

Kifla,
Have you considered making a Marauder body template available?

No, don't realy like it....that guitar looks to me like an act of desperation. Or some Gizmo from '60 SF movie. :-\powerdroid wrote:

It's good to have so many type of guitars...cars, phones...you name it.
Nevertheless, today I bought some L-profile material...
... and cut it into a roller bracket for Marauder:
Looks like this:
Not like original, but will do.
On the B&B ebony neck I've drilled tuner holes, profiled the headstock and installed side dots:
Left back profiling for tomorrow. Maybe.

Excellent work. You should set up some guitar making courses. Really.
