Throughout its history, Fender® has always made a special point of
welcoming new players to the family by offering entry-level instruments
of remarkable style and substance (such as the Duo-Sonic™, Mustang® and
Musicmaster® models), with great sound, classic looks, solid performance
and eminent affordability. The Modern Player series continues that
great my-first-Fender tradition, with thoroughly modern features and
several distinctively unconventional new takes on our most revered
instruments-all with outstandingly attainable value.
In addition
to heralding the return of a fabled and seldom-heard Fender name from
the 1960s, the Modern Player Marauder is one of the most distinctive new
guitars in the family, uniquely marked by a new body style, Modern
Player Jazzmaster® neck pickup and volcanic-sounding three-coil Fender
Triplebucker bridge pickup. Other features include a koto body, C-shaped
maple neck, rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo frets, five-way pickup
switching with lower horn blade selector switch, four-ply aged white
pearloid pickguard, Jazz Bass®-style control knobs, vintage-style
synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners and nickel/chrome
hardware.
