FENDER MARAUDER (U.S. MFG.) Description

- offset double cutaway asymmetrical alder body, bolt-on maple neck, 21-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with pearl block inlay, strings through bridge with metal cover, six-on-one-side tuners, white pickguard, three control mounted metal plates, four pickups, volume/tone controls on lower treble bout, volume/tone controls, slide switch on upper bass bout, four push switches on upper treble bout, chrome hardware, available in Sunburst or Custom Color finishes, approx. 8 mfg. 1965-66.

The pickups on this instrument were set under the pickguard, making the guitar appear to have no pickups. Due to unknown circumstances, this model never went into full production. There are few of these instruments to be found, and though they were featured in 1965 sales brochures, they would have to be considered prototypes. Most seasoned Fender dealers have never seen a Marauder. In the 1965-1966 catalog, the newly introduced Marauder carried a list price of $479. Compare this to the then-current list price of the Stratocaster's $281! This model had an optional standard vibrato. In 1966, the "second generation" Marauder featured 3 exposed pickups (which replaced original hidden pickups). According to Gene Fields, who was in the Fender R& D section at the time, 8 prototypes were built: 4 with regular frets and 4 with slanted frets.
Again, the Marauder was not put into full production.
