I am looking for knee lever assemblys to fit a Sho-Bud maverick.
Mine at the moment does not have any knee levers, just the three pedals.
I would like to fit two levers at least.

Help and advice would be most appreciated.

I am sure there are people who know a lot about the maverick. Some put them down, but you can learn many, many songs using 3 pedals and 1 knee lever. The original Maverick came with 3 pedals and 1 knee lever. It has a pull and release changer, and is hard to pull and release the same string, especially the 4th string. To raise and lower the E's you have to raise the 4 twice and lower it once. I have one that I disconnected the C pedal and use 2 knees raising and lowering the E's. I also lower the 2nd, string 2 steps. I do have an original knee lever kit to lower the 2 and 8. There are some good prices around on some Pro 1's with the all pull changer.

Check with Bob Simmons at Simmons guitars. I have seen Mavricks that he has added Knee Levers to.
