Hi.
I was thinking on putting my Maverick 3+1 in C6 tuning.
Anyone done such a thing?
And, does that make sense anyway?
Because, since the changer is an all-pull, I would miss out on the half-step down change on pedals B and C (#5 and 6 on a D10)

Forget the pedals,tune it to non-pedal C6th,at least it will stay in tune that way. Very Happy YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

You need the lowers, if you want pedals on it. Charlie's probably right, but if you do want pedals, you'll have to come up with a reversing mechanism for the lowers.
Something like this would be simple enough, and you can probably find all the parts at a hardware store.

finally done it, installed a reverse mechanism using roller-skate wheels. Could you believe it... it works like a charm and stays in tune! But I still regard it a learning setup, not a road-ready piece if gear.
Here some pics and the copedent:

I'm missing out on the high C to D raise, that's because with the Mav's changer I can't have a lower and a raise on the same string.
The usual raises on strings 9 and 10 are left out but I can install them if I want them later on.
What do you think? Comments welcome

Clever means of reversing cables for a pull-release guitar.

the three main types of changers most of us deal with are:
all-pull, push-pull, and pull-release.
the maverick is a 'pull-release' changer.
