My neighbor has a maverick she wants to sell, she says she bought it about 10 years ago NEW but never realy played it, she never even took lessons, been sitting around the house for ten years. Just wondering what it's worth. Any info would be appreciated, Thanks

From what you mention my guess is that the Maverick is probably one of the dark brown mica covered ones. 3 pedals and 1 knee lever, of course. Very basic.
What's it worth? Well, I know what I would pay for it but that's not really much. My suggestion is to go to Ebay and do a search on what Mavericks have sold for in the last 6-12 months. That should give you a pretty good idea of their worth. Hope that helps. |

| If she bought it new it was more like 30 years ago. Sho-Bud went out of business about then and I think they quit making Mavericks before that. I have one I bought new in 1974. They sell for about $500 to $800 depending on condition and what's been done to them. |

| I bought one from a guy last year for $200, and sold it for $500 on craigslist, in one day. So, I probably could've held out for $600.... |

thanks guys i appreciate the help, i might try craigs list and see what happens.
I think the the music store where she bought it misinformed her, because they no nothing about steel guitars. |

If it has the "shelf-paper" burl oak covering on it, that can be easily removed to expose a beautiful birds-eye maple cabinet...a very rigid one at that. No, the Maverick's weren't the most versatile guitars, but they did sound great IMO and the opinion of the late Jeff Newman.
If you can get it for 500 bucks in the case, grab it!!! Then tear off that ugly shelf paper and have a body shop buddy add a bit more clear lacquer to its cabinet after cleaning off all the contact glue with...lacquer thinner. That will also increase sustain by about 100% as the "shelf paper" acts as a sound-deadener...it's some kind of vinyl material. Retain the original pickup as they are rare today. KL's can be added to these little guys if you really want to get into it. John Coop would be the man to contact on that.
FWIW I still have the 1977 Maverick I bought new in a music store in Elgin IL in November 1978 and would take it out for a gig in 15 minute's notice without touching a single pull...as I haven't had to do in about 15 years or so!!!

| I just put my Pro II Custom in the shop on Friday. It will there for 3 weeks, so I set up my Maverick to see me through and I gotta say the thing sounds great. I'm not selling mine! |

I recently bought "new" parts from a music store that had been sitting in their store room for close to 30 years............

| Run! Plenty of entry level steels out there besides these things. 100.00 and then I'd remove the hardware and use it as a non-pedal guitar tuned to E6 or E13. |

If the guitar was used as a non-pedal guitar, the changer could still be retained and used with lock levers underneath to pull or release the changer fingers to throw the initial tuning into an A6th, a B6th, and many other tunings based on the initial tuning. That would make the guitar a very versatile unit indeed. On one neck, you could get 4 or 5 different basic non-pedal tunings using the original changer to get them. Just a thought.

| Very good idea my friend. I hadn't thought about that. You may be onto something with the lock levers. |
