Marathon Stratocaster electric guitar

Description

huendeskes
A like-new Marathon Replay series Stratocaster for sale. The instrument was manufactured 8-10 years ago in Korea, according to internet sources. The body is made of solid, well-resonating hardwood, the lacquer and craftsmanship are both high-quality, only minimal hair scratches and small dents from use are noticeable up close. The neck is carved from maple with a rosewood fretboard. 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 like-new. The electronics are flawless, producing the characteristic Stratocaster sound. The rear humbucker can be split with a mini-switch, allowing for a heavier sound. As a weak point, I would unfortunately mention the weaker tuners typical for its price range, which can cause tuning instability, especially with heavy tremolo use (replacing them would make the otherwise solid, 2-point tremolo fully usable), but they do their job fine during normal playing. Overall, a comfortable, solid, and good value instrument.
