Gibson collaborated with legendary designer Bill Lawrence to create a guitar with a Les Paul-shaped body but with tonal characteristics closer to a Telecaster or Stratocaster. The model was heavily endorsed by Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley of KISS. Stanley famously used Marauders as his \"sacrificial\" guitars, smashing them at the end of every show. Other players include Pete Shelley (Buzzcocks) and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth). Despite the marketing push, only 7,111 units were sold between 1975 and 1979 before it was officially discontinued in 1980.Gibson switched the design to a rotary \"blender\" knob in 1976 to give players more tonal variety, so the 3-way toggle is a hallmark of the original launch spec. These early versions are often preferred by collectors because the toggle switch feels more \"Gibson-standard\" than the later experimental electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
