The Marauder also has Jumbo frets, which I like. It has a Fender strat type scale at 25.5 inches. The neck has a great feel - I would say it is a little wide, possibly, and definitely non-baseball bat like. For me, it plays easily and the neck feels very good. You can get a lot of bright tones out of it and one switch position has a lot of strat "quack" to it. The tone knob is very useful to warm up the bright sounds on a couple switch settings, if you feel it is necessary. I like the bright sound. There are two or three switch positions that mellow out the sound, considering the humbucker and switch positions.
For not big money, I would say you get a lot of guitar.
Your CVC project sounds like it is going to yield an exceptional guitar.
