Seller's description

1976–78 Gibson Marauder Mahogany Walnut Body: Mahogany with a walnut finish The neck is 3-piece maple with a rosewood fingerboard Headstock: Flying V-style with volute design Bolt-on neck. Pickguard: Black Both the front and rear pickups have been replaced, but the manufacturer is unknown. Bridge: Wide Traveler The specifications for this model differ between the 1976 and 1978 versions. Here is a summary of the differences by model year. 1975–76: 3-way pickup selector; cutaway on the 1st string side 1976–78: Pickup balancer pot (located in the cutaway section on the G-string side) 1978–82: Pickup balancer pot between the Volume and Tone knobs The specific model shown here falls under the 1978–82 category. However, since the serial number on the back of the headstock starts with “00,” and there are no irregularities in the neck joint (suggesting it was made in 1976), it is likely that the neck was completed in 1976 and the neck was likely assembled onto the body around 1978. The neck is currently straight, and there is plenty of truss rod adjustment left. The frets were originally set low, but about 40% of the material remains. Although many parts, such as the pickups and strap pins, have been replaced, this is a model that has become increasingly rare in recent years. As it is a vintage instrument, there are scratches and dents throughout.
