My instructions for this steel From David Jackson was.
Keep your big paws off the nylock nuts
An the changer fingers are suppose too line up perfectly..
These are the most simple pull release I’ve seen an I’ve built several pull release steels.
How simple can it be the Allen screw stops the lower fingers.
The strings that raise the pitch works just like a all pull.

Those are nice looking guitars, and look to be well built too. I don't care for the card signs in the middle of the apron, but otherwise this is is just plain pretty, and rather expensive.

| Ken I think the Tone an the playability is well worth the price the card symbols will peel off easily. I wish the pedal board was buffed. |

Johnie - Noted.I was just looking at the Jackson web site, and the price new isn't really that bad after all, especially the way this guitar is finished and the quality of build. The polished metal is really nice. The ashtray tuner head isn't bad at all. I agree, a polished pedal board would be a nice addition.

Ken the ashtray key head what do you think is this a plus for tone seems like too me the ashtray key head would take More labor too mill from a solid piece of aluminum an mill out the cabinet also.
The old fender steels with the ashtray key head sure sounds good. |

Regarding the ashtray key head - I don’t know if it impacts tone or not, but it may have advantages. Since there is no neck, the strings aren’t as high off of the body as usual. The roller nut is not as high. Having the ashtray key head keeps the top of the tuning keys
about level with the nut.You can play right up to fret 0 without your bar hand hitting the keys. I would suspect the tone relates to the other end of the guitar, pickup, body.

Your right about that. That detracts from an otherwise VERY nice looking guitar. IMO Anyway. |

That to me that is the best implementation of an inexpensive simple E9 PSG I've seen yet.
Perhaps not so aesthetically pleasing but to clarify a few advantages to eliminating the neck:
1. Less top tension - I've always maintained the more tension on the top the more the cabinet drop. I've witnessed this with 10/12/14 string single necks of similar cabinet design from the same mfgr. Keeping the strings closer to the body significantly reduces tension on the top. Cabinet drop is reduced as a result because - once you start to bend a board the easier it is to bend if further - physics.
2. Tone - this is a theory but seems to me the strings are in greater intimate contact with the body on both ends than a guitar with a neck and conventional keyhead and changer mount.
3. Cost - no neck of course. Also, that tuner pan is a great candidate for casting. Assuming an inexpensive yet high quality guitar will sell well, it could be justified. Casting a couple hundred tuner pans would drop the price significantly. I dunno maybe they are already available and quite cheap. |

Do these Jacksons like this tune from BOTH ends? This Madison favors the old Sho-Bud Fingertip on the changer end. I see tuning nuts on the key end. Kind of out of the ordinary, but these things appear to be the Rolls Royce of the industry right now.

Posted 27 Jun 2024 12:16 pm Maverick HD pickup height
|
|
| I just received my new Maverick HD. It is a beautiful instrument for sure. One question I have that someone might be able to answer; is it possible to adjust the height of the pick up on the Maverick HD? It appears to be screwed directly to the frame below with no adjustment springs, etc. It also seems to be a little too high. You can barely slide a quarter under the strings at the pick up. What do you guys think about this? |
