I like the brass plates, but with sunburst/tort it looks a bit too… rustic

It reminds me of one of the Framus Strato Deluxe guitars from the 70s.

Re: Marauder Replica by Chicago Guitar Space
This looks like a pretty cool replica of the original Marauder.
Just my two cents : Is it legally OK for them to use the Marauder name while also trying to clone the original Fender model ? I'm guessing it wasnt ever legally registered ? Also it looks kind of out of place in their guitar lineup, the others are either more squared off or inspired by more budget guitars than fender (Kay/Silvertone etc)

I played one at a Guitar Center a loooooong time ago. It played really well, but they were some weird-ass controls.

Not a fan of the sunburst one, but the other ones don't look toooooo bad:

I like that one a whole lot more, but I know nothing about this company and $2800 guitars need to justify themselves in terms of fit, finish, and playability. Hope they're nice enough to earn their price point.

Re: Marauder Replica by Chicago Guitar Space
That blob is part of the original Marauder II design. Here's a pic showing the blob from the one Dave's Guitar has. The Chicago Guitar Space body is the only one I've seen actually replicate that. The one's Paul (Steordinary) made, the DSG ones, the Texas Toast ones, the Faction templates and even Deed_Poll's new bodies don't have this part of the original design. Not that I've spent way too much time starring at Marauder II's.

Re: Marauder Replica by Chicago Guitar Space
It's also a detail I left out of the one I made, on purpose.
