  1. 1974(?) Marauder
    dancin Bake

    Just purchased Gibson Marauder ,Believe the manufacture date to be 1974, serial number 402821 over "made in usa". Can anyone elaborate on date? Tuners have been upgraded over the years but otherwise appears original, some arm wear and surface dings from being played often, as this little unit is a monster.Any ideas as to where a fella
    can get info about these guitars would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

      Hey, i have a Marauder of my own, and i enjoy it thoroughly. But your Marauder is a 1975 at the earliest. The guitars were made from 75-80, and various aspects of the models were modified over the years. If your guitar has the "made in u.s.a." logo on the headstock, then it is definitely from 75-77, as those were the only years that logo was on the headstock. I could tell you more, but i’ll just give you this link which tells about a few 70’s Gibson guitars. Just scroll down till you see the Marauder section. Hope this helps. Congrats on getting a very sweet but sadly unappreciated and unnoticed piece of Gibson history. Hope it serves you well. http://www.vintageguitar.com/brands/details.asp?ID=52 <—-the link to the site.

      Hi there, James.
      I have a question…I bought my WRC in 1990, NEW. I paid DKK. 12.200, that’s about US 2000. How much would a new WRC cost back in 1990 in US dollars. The guitar is ivorywhite with Kahler spyder locks and EMG active pickups.

      Kind regards

        Hello James,

        I have the ability to purchase a natural-wood finish wrc for fareley cheap ($500-$800), and wondered if A. That’s a good deal(it seems like it)and B. you could send me some sort of background info on the guitar or some kind of picture to compare originality and make sure no personalized custom work has been done to the guitar. Your time is greatly appreciated.

        Thanks again,

      : What is this guitar worth?? 1998 Gibson Custom Dove in Flight. perfect condition. Thanks for your comments.
      : RonL

      Well Ron, I believe that guitar is worth $2,500.00-$2,800.00
      in the "used market". If you are interested in selling it..feel free to e-mail me. These Dove in Flight originals are every bit the same guitar as the new Doves in Flight, except for ornamentation, which I feel is an over-kill anyway. Too busy. These originals are much more appealing I think.

      I have owned a WRC for about six years, and it’s a sweetass instrument. I purchased mine for $550, and I know the one you’re talking about on Ebay; that’s just too damn much. I would say try to sell it for about $700 and let them try and talk you down. I wouldn’t dip below $600, but I wouldn’t be selling mine either (unless it’s an emergency).

        You are out of your mind, friend. You can buy one brand-new for $2800. Your guitar is 25 years old. I don’t care how collectible you think it is; now that Gibson has reissued them, you’re not going to find anybody to pay you $2k for a used one.

              to say noone would pay 2 grand for a guitar that loses its value from simply being in the sun because the silverburst turns green and has kept its color for over 20 years is to call yourself a moron. a guitar that rare is definitely worth 2 grand when most of the rest of the les pauls cost at least 2 grand if not usually more.

              1. Wow, youre a Fukktard now arent you?

                You dont know shit about that particular guitar or you would keep your wise-ass shut the hell up.

                I would give 3k for the right one in a heartbeat. …so would many others.
