Published on 07/19/14 at 22:19The series "Modern Player" is the first series of guitars produced and manufactured in China with the Fender brand name. Though Squier series "Classic Vibe" has already shown how good Chinese guitars could be, you always had the feeling something was missing ... <div> The Marauder is however moved to the next step. It reminded me a little of that morning in 82 when I bought my bass JV Jazz (Japanese)!
Some of the exterior features of this guitar are inspired by the 60's Fender Marauder. The "Original" Marauder was never produced in large numbers. The Modern Player Marauder has inherited a thin body and the logo 'Fender' (which is the only word written on the sleeve). The new body shape is somewhere between a Jazzmaster and the former Marauder. The electronics are completely new design. The pearl pickguard gives the guitar a classic look.
UTILIZATION
This guitar is good design. Mounted jumbo frets, it is very easy to play. The balance is good, the head is a little heavier, you feel if you play standing. The C-shaped handle has the right thickness for most players and offers a good compromise between playability and stability / sustain. Channel vibrato and mechanical stress strategy vintage reissue, except jumbo frets.
Vibrato is the weak point of this guitar. You must use it with caution, otherwise you detune the guitar. Too bad they did not use the standard tremolo Squier series.
SOUNDS
Once you pick up the guitar, you feel that it begs to be played! <div> This is quite different from most U.S. strats "affordable" that cost at least three times and it sometimes feels like a piece of wood reluctant. Even if it is played acoustically, the Marauder has a bright and lively tone, resulting in excellent sound when amplified.
Location of microphones:
, 1. Humbucker full more fat than a Strat
2. Crystalline like a Strat
3. Clear and limpid as a good Strat middle position
4. Humbucker thoroughly, ultra clear tone </div><div> 5 Humbucker thoroughly ideal for chorus., </div><div>
In fact, all these sounds are quite impressive and extremely useful. The sustain is better than my Strat. Incredible that such an instrument so cheap and so light can sound like that. I play on a 12 "combo 30W lamp, but even on the amp transistor 10W cheap in the store, it sounded fabulous.
OVERALL OPINION
It cost me only 459 euros and since I bought my E-sries J-strat has not left his gig-bag. If you like Fender guitars, you can not afford to miss it. Well Notes: This first set of Marauders will be collectibles in 10 years, just as the JV series 82. So grab it while you still can! <div> On the other hand if you are a true Hardos or "Gibsonist" this guitar is not for you. </div><div> Apart tremolo best left aside, this is a great guitar. This is the first guitar that gives me such a combination of sounds so clear and crystalline, very fat and rocky
Two guitars that I tried, the quality was very consistent.
