It started when I saw this abused little 19" scale neck on ebay. It's from an Epiphone wee vee. At $20 bucks I couldn't pass it up and the wheels were already turning.

After a little sanding, leveling the fretboard and new frets.

Image

The headstock was scarred up a bit so I added a birdseye maple veneer.

Image

Image

Next up was a couple templates.

Image

A wee little body from alder scraps. No joke, that's a 5 piece body.

Image

Image

A pickguard. Mint was the only scrap I had that was big enough. Later on I found a better suited pickup.

Image

Some flat black paint and here's where we're at. Still needs a little tweaking on the setup but it's pretty much done. Tuned to A.

Sick as fuck, love a Marauder.

Plus, it's got everyone's favourite pickup position: middle

Incredible stuff as always! Now it’s time for a 19” Scale Mini Fender Marauder complete with all the crazy wiring and plates jammed onto a tiny body

I've just got where I can wire a single pickup consistently. My 2 pickups with a toggle switch is hit or miss. I believe I'll leave the mini Fender Marauder for someone else to attempt.
