Exactly. But the amount of Marauders and S-1s i've seen with neck pockets that you can fit a whole cigarette, let alone the paper down the gap of, i'd say the headstock was the least of their problems.

I never knew about the marauder but I always thought a double cut les paul body would work really well with the flying v headstock.

Which V peghead are you talking about? The original sharp-point '58 or the re-issue "blunt" from the 1960s?
That Marauder has the blunt sixties style headstock. By the way, the Marauder is one of the very worst guitars EVER made... it nearly put Gibson out of business. Of course, they will become collectible, just like the Edsel. (young people, can do research to see what an Edsel is.)
I think that the V headstock looks correct on one type of guitar only... the one that it was designed for. As for the Dean, well that's an inside joke that nobody "gets" any more.

They are one of the coolest Gibsons I've seen. The Nighthawk is cooler, but still...

They should've showed him with a busted one...
Now, if you're going to post a Marauder ad, it HAS to be this one...

Marauders have to be the single worst guitar Gibson ever put out.

From what I recall, in exchange for the endorsement, Gibson would ship pallets of those things to Kiss on the road for free. Paul Stanley would play one for a single song (or less) and then smash it to bits as part of the "schtick".
I think that he destroyed the majority of their production that year. Of course all that will make the remaining ones collectible despite being utter garbage.
