Marathon Strat electric guitar

Description

huendeskes
A like-new Marathon Replay series Stratocaster is for sale. The instrument was manufactured in Korea 8-10 years ago, according to online sources. The body is made of solid, well-resonating hardwood, the finish and workmanship are both high-quality, only minimal, use-related hairline scratches and small dents are noticeable up close. The neck is a carved maple with a rosewood fingerboard. It's perfectly straight and won't warp due to its age; it's flatter than a traditional C-profile Strat neck, and the frets are also in like-new condition. The electronics are flawless, producing the characteristic Stratocaster sound, and the rear humbucker can be split with a mini-switch for a harder sound. As a weak point, I must mention the weaker tuners, typical for its price range, which can cause tuning instability, especially with heavy tremolo use (with their replacement, the otherwise robust 2-point tremolo could also be utilized), but they do their job fine for normal playing. Overall, it's a comfortable, solid, and good value instrument.
