| My Maverick has a length 24" from the nut to bridge. Is this the correct way to measure length? I have a Fender Frontman Amp. Ser.# M430397, 38W, type: PR 241 . Not an exspensive amp I think. I'm new to electric music and PSG's . Price is a big factor for me at this time but can someone recommend what I should have for a set-up [amp,strings.bar ,???] to continue trying to learn to play this old Maverick besides practice,practice,practice |

| I believed I was asking for general info. about my guitar and how I should be trying to set it up. Not just about electrical . I'll try to not cause anyone extra work in the future ! Just requesting some help ! |

That is the correct way to measure scale length.
A Maverick works best with a wound .022 for the scale length. These are the strings I recommend: www.steelguitarshopper.com/e9th-wound-6th-for-stage-one/. The Dunlop 920 tone bar (7/8" x 3.25") is a good choice.
For practicing, any amp will do. The Fender Frontman is is fine. For performing, Peavey Nashville 112 is a better choice. They show up used here on the Forum quite often.

| Hello bOb, what is the meaning of "stage one". I have a new set of "Ernie Ball custom gauge, stainless steel wound" . It doesn't have the G# .0115 it's 10 and the B is an 18 plain rather tha.017. The next set I buy i'll try the ones you suggested . |

The strings are made for the modern Zumsteel Stage One pedal steels, but they also work well on certain older models (like your Maverick). Does the Ernie Ball set have a wound 6th string (middle G#)?
