Gibson Marauder Reviews  4 / 5 based on 6 reviews The Marauder was a mid 70's attempt by Gibson to compete with the cheap Japanese copies which were flooding the west at that time. Although it was never particularly cheap (around ?300 in the UK, w... [read more on Audiofanzine] El Chileno rated this unit on 2015-08-13. The Gibson Marauder sounds like no other guitar. Maybe they are a little too light for heavy metal (the pu's would squeel), but for all other styles it would do the job in its own distinctive manner. The looks might be a little cheap (a lot of plastics), but I don't mind about that. With a 1975 Gibson Deluxe and a 1967 Gretsch Chet Atkins Nashvi...

If you ever get the lucky chance to acquire a Marauder make sure if you're paying 400 upwards that the finish is perfect.
