Another Marauder thread (and jazzmaster...) Pics on page 12!

Hi. I didn't build anything for a while, but in the meantime i found this picture of another Fender oddball offset:


MARAUDER XII
Apparenty made by Custom Shop guys.

Anyone know what pickups are used on this?

[1,2,3, Pull Out!]

They look like soap bar p90s...

Wow - Thanks for the resurrect. Great Build!

Thx, glad you like it. Last few months I had no time to build guitars, but things have changed. So, if you like Marauders....stay tuned!

Anyone know what pickups are used on this?

Those are P90 with custom covers.....far from originals.

Here are my new designs for Marauder MK II and MK III

[Britfingers]

Thanks Kifla...the new ones look great!

Sneak a peek...

I'm really curious about these pickups. They look like narrow-aperture humbuckers with extra outside poles, correct? I'd expect them to sound like minihumbuckers or like the new narrow-aperture Paul Reed Smith humbuckers. Judging from the YouTube clips they sound pretty clear. How hot are they? I'd love to hear (and see) more.

Hi, I'm also curious about the pickups. Since they're mounted under the pickguard, how hot do they need to be?

[kifla]

No, they are not hot nor humbuckers. Just single coils with very strong neodimyum polepieces, wound between 5k7 and 6k8. (2nd & 4th are RWRP - in a relation with 1st & 3rd)

Sweet holy Jesus, dude, this is insane and I LOVE it.

[Britfingers]

I like the Custom Shop(?) Marauder, but it would look better with the pickups underneath the pickguard..

[kifla]

I like 12 string idea and colour on the CS Marauder XII. OK, pickguard can pass as well.

But cheap plastic power switch and LED??!! C'mon, what is it, VARIAX?

[Britfingers]

Any idea what the switch and led are for?
