I'm in, I don't think it would take too terribly long, this is a lot of money coming at them.

Here's some tuners that the type 2 would have had, if anyone wants them:

That's what I'll use on mine.

Nice, thanks for that. I’m thinking of having the swoosh painted sonic blue for use on my fiesta red Jazzmaster. Good idea? Bad idea?

Although those appear to be 3+3 style tuners, not 6 in line.

Hell no! That's awesome. I've always wanted to do two different colors.

I'm all set. I balled out. Way way too hard... But man, this is one of my dream instruments...

I need to start acquiring all the other bajillion pieces now. I know Faction makes all the plates.

Deed do you have a list of parts?

Have you heard from the others? Hopefully they didn’t bail?

I would be in if a slot would be available and if they could ship it to France...

The 6 neck order was a minimum, not a maximum. As many folks can get in on this as they line.

Also, Musikraft ships internationally: https://musikraft.com/shipping-info-2/

2fLAz, get in here man! make one, just paste in their comment section when you finish your build: This is one of the six people who are doing the type 2 Marauder build and will require a different headstock shape provided to Jim via email


I think all 6 people are in. I got an email that said:

Great News,

Your order #18513 status has changed from "Processing" to "In Wood Selection Department".

What does it mean when your Order Status has changed? Please see our Order Status Change descriptions in the "Help" menu of our Website. Additional updates will follow as we move forward with your project.

Stay tuned. Thank you!

Musikraft LLC



smjenkins said his order number is 18514, so this seems like a good sign.


I asked to make sure you can get in 2fLAz, I'm sure they'll be happy to build a neck. Money is money.

I got a wood selection department update on my order as well.

Do we have an estimate from Jim at Muiskraft on when to expect drawings from their CNC software as to what the headstock will look like?
