What is it?
Okay, so who had “Gibson – sort of – relaunches the Marauder” on their 2025 bingo card? Certainly not me. Originally unleashed onto the unexpected guitar community in 1975, this often-forgotten guitar never quite got called up to play in the big leagues alongside the Les Paul, SG, or ES-335, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t have a few famous admirers. Both Adam Jones and Paul Stanley have used a Marauder in the past, but for players of a certain generation, like me, when we see this LP/Flying V hybrid, we instantly think of Deryck Whibley wielding his poolside with his Sum 41 bandmates for their In Too Deep video.
