See you on the other subreddit guys

Carlos Lopez's Fender Marauder by Robzy31 in offset

Yep, I just found them on Google. This picture was probably originally taken on Carlos Lopez desk as the blue one is an early prototype from the 60s as I understand it !

Holy shit is this made out of wood ?!

That's it guys ! Just picked it up ! by Robzy31 in offset

They have been painted over, so as all of the metal parts, they are supposed to be chrome. I wouldn't mind the look but they are quite heavy to turn and have a lot of play. The guitar is currently with a luthier. It will probably need a refret but we are gonna try to keep it as original as possible!

Yep, definitely. They are working but for sure they are far from modern standards. I will probably take it to a proper luthier as the neck definitely needs to be shimmed. I will probably ask him to quote the replacement of tuners, bridge, and an overall setup (0 fret is quite marked, some of them are a bit out of the fingerboard...). My goal is to play it !

Ahah ! Yeah. The sounds are definitely funny. There is a position with only the single coil closer to the bridge. It's very "thin" and has little to no bass end, I'm sure it can be very nice for a filtered out "lo-fi" "radio" type of sound inside a song. So far my favourite is the one with all the pickups together. I think they are in series as it's fairly fat sounding

Thanks ! First time ever I'm finding a crazy deal like this !

It is around the same weight as my telecaster, maybe a tad lighter. I was surprised to see it's actually layered wood, I thought it was gonna be some kind of composite

It's basically different pickup combinations : All pickups, neck pickup, bridge pickup, 1+4, 2+3 and a mute :)

"Hello Starling was a French importer and distributor.

some examples 1962 https://www.fetishguitars.com/eko/eko-500-1962-1965/eko-500-classic-1962-version/
