This man is such an inspired builder. Fender, you need to invest 100% in this guy because he's fresh and has excellent ideas and his inspiration can change the mainstream guitar market to embrace the weird and unusual.

[modestoney]

We need (!) an affordable mass production model of this!
Make it happen, Fender!

[coreymineard]

Make this a regular production model. Seriously.

[stephenceruolo]

Carlos is the best builder they have right now. I was lucky enough to spend some time with the Brawler that he made for the Chicago Music Exchange and it's one of the best instruments I've ever played. He is bringing so many great ideas to the table and fender should feel lucky to have him

[DolphCas]

Classic. I remember seeing this in pictures. Glad they're bringing it back. I hope it's affordable. FULL BODY SIZED MUSTANG NEXT PLEASE FENDER!

[PSYGIO]

The best guitar I’ve ever seen
I want it now

[headcrabkiller]

I love that the appropriate Marauder is officially back but...BiLT Guitars out of Des Moines IA have been building Marauder-esque electric for some time now, used by Taylor York, Sean Lennon, Nels Cline, etc.

In addition, they (and considerably Danelectro with their Danoblasters) really commercially sold guitars with on-board effects.

It reminds of one of those rare finds that you would come across in a swap meet or a garage sale, where the seller inherited it, not knowing anything about the guitar gem that they're going to sell to an eager collector, for a few bucks.

[jamiee]

This guy has got the best job in the world!!!

[TomekStefanowicz]

Please make more videos like this. I love to learn the history of those guitars

[valuedhumanoid]

Clever. I have to contemplate having a delay circuit built into a guitar. But the overall look and vibe is killer.

[renodavid]

I was very confused when I saw the headline because Gibson came out with their own Marauder guitar in the 70s. This Marauder looks much cooler.

[ryanmowbray]

I bought a fender pawnshop marauder with a triple bucker in it. I had it rewired so the bucker went in different phase configurations.

But this is much more amazing of a direction. I wish onboard options like this existed commercially.

[liamjonasscale]

beautiful guitar, full of new tones, sounds, and inspiration for new playing styles

[solomonlee]

I've dreamed about this guitar since I was a kid. Ppl need this now ....Fender and Squier versions.

[DrastixMachina]

The Marauder is such a beautiful guitar

[SomeJusticek]

Looks wise, that is the most badass guitar I've ever seen in my life. Freaking LOVE the colors. I need one that looks just like It's touched my soul.

[grandudetonesnob]

Carlos is my spirit animal! Open up the dream factory, put Carlos in charge, and good stuff will happen!

[DK]

Pin router has to be one of the more insane woodworking tools ever made.

[pawnsprizes]

Love the green/red combo on that guitar. 🤘
