Topic: Hot-Rodded Mavericks |

There are a couple of threads on here where guys have taken a maverick and upgraded the changer & undercarriage. I recently saw a maverick sell on ebay that had apparently had an all-pull changer installed, but I didn't recognize it from any of the threads on here. That got me wondering just how many of these hot-rodded mavericks there are out there.
I bought a Maverick (raised neck, gumby keyhead) the other day for a pretty good price and I'm thinking about doing just this, so I'd love to see what others have done.

Put your money into a higher grade shobud, and you will have something worth your time and money when you are done.
Give a monkey a hair-do and guess what---- you still have a monkey.

Hi James,
You are of course right.
But, I enjoy tinkering, and since I do all the work myself, mostly with found and/or cheap materials, the price is close to zero, and the time is spent doing something I enjoy.
That's what I tell myself anyway.

If it were mine I wouldn't even think of an all pull system - I would just upgrade by adding a balanced pull release assembly so i got raise and lower on the e's - eezy peezy - a diagram of it in the Winnie Winston book.

Michael, I here ya. Get with me later, I will be making knee lever kits that should work fine on you Mav--you can have 4 knees then and even a vertical if you feel froggy.  BTW, the blonde raised neck were my faves of the Mavericks. I just wish they had a better endplate.

| When I visited Coop a few years ago, he had a Mav on his bench. It had a new changer on it. Something he was working on. |
