The 1980 Gibson Marauder in Mocha (Walnut/Brown) finish with a maple neck and maple fingerboard is one of the last production years of the model. Gibson officially discontinued the Marauder in 1980, although a small number were assembled into early 1981. These late guitars are becoming increasingly collectible because they represent Gibson's unique collaboration with pickup designer Bill Lawrence.
