Marauder Stereo
My first attempt at a build with an unfinished body Not committed to finish yet "home done nitro or car body shop" but colours in the running at the mo are white or gold met.
Not building a replica so wont be going with the swoosh headstock.
Itl be wired in stereo with bass and treble pickups being on separate circuits .
If ive got my sums right there will be On/Off for each pickup half.
Bass cut Switch
Out of phase Switch
Both circuits will hit a 3 way switch giving options Mono/Stereo To a single Stereo socket.

Re: Marauder Stereo
Looking to do something similar to this with the 1X lipstick/2XJazzmaster project I'm doing. Would love to see further progress on this - basically would give the option to have two completely different sounds coming out of the same guitar. Might even chuck a Piezo into the mix at some point because ... just because.
What pickups are these? And where could I find some (for another project)?

Re: Marauder Stereo
I can't add any help. But I'm building one currently with some other folks so happy to follow this topic. I need to start acquiring all the pieces, may have to ask you for a check list

I've done it before but it's wholly unnecessary, truth be told.

Re: Marauder Stereo
I just noticed the switch mod by the jack - is that so you could mount a 3-way switch? If so, I have been developing my next generation of Marauder kits with 3D-printed spacers so that the modern rocker switches will fit with the vintage-correct screw spacing. The modern rockers are available in 3-way configuration I believe, I could send you a couple of the spacers and a link to the 3-way rockers if you want to give it a go?
Here's one of the spacers - the metal sheet under the switch tucks into the slot, and the mounting screw goes through the plate and threads into the pentagonal hole
Switches can be found here
