Dudes.... Maverick Species needs bkp'ing....

No they only ever made them with the string through bridge.
What a waste.
Give me that neck joint on my guitar and i'd have the PERFECT Maverick.
BTW yours seems to be post-beergut ie a newer model.
to me Mavericks have to have the roller knobs and the ribbed hardware. It's a shame they decided to change 'Ribbed for your pleasure' however, the new pup selector DOES look like a clitoris...
Can anyone shed light upon why the headstock changed shape?

I contacted them awhile ago as they sometimes do custom work for customers i asked if they would make me a species with an alder body like the f3, and a 7 string species with a floyd.... but they said they weren't making any customer orders at the minute  :roll:   but then i found the boogie street washburn so im happy


yeah your exactly right thats the only thing i didnt like about all my other mavericks.... me and bolt on necks just dont get on, they just feel cheap for some reason compared to the sculpted beautifulness on the species joint


when did the headstock change? all my mav's have had the same style headstock even the first ever streetfighter was the same as the species except for the binding of course and the streetfighter being reversed.... the only different headstock ive seen is on the g series (the les paul lookin ones) ?

Check out the earlier models (with the ribbing and direct mount pickups) compared with their later editions (with the clit and the Pup rings) the headstocks are a different shape; the newer ones having a sort of 'beergut' effect when placed vertical. The early headstocks are more like an Ibanez but with a more protruding lower point on the tip.
