Marathon Stratocaster electric guitar

Description

huendeskes
For sale, a like-new Marathon Replay series stratocaster. The instrument was manufactured 8-10 years ago in Korea, according to online sources. The body is made of solid, well-resonating hardwood, the finish and workmanship are all high-quality, only minimal, hair-thin scratches and small dents from use are noticeable up close. The neck is a carved maple with a rosewood fretboard. It is perfectly straight and will not warp due to its age; it is flatter than a traditional C-profile Strat neck, and the frets are also in like-new condition. The electronics are flawless, delivering the characteristic Stratocaster sound, the rear humbucker can be split with a mini-switch, allowing for a heavier sound. As a weak point, I must mention the weaker tuners, which are unfortunately typical for this price category and 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 properly during normal playing. Overall, it is a comfortable, correct, and good value-for-money instrument.
