Custom Guitars?

Not really a custom, but I was reading about how good these were.

Played both an F1 and an X1, didn't like either at all.

and it's a totally different range to a custom.

Blimey, I was reading an old copy of guitar buyer last night and they thought that they were awesome.  Just goes to show that before you buy a guitar, you should always have a bash of a few examples.  I love my mates V style resonator necks but they're not to everyones taste.

I remember reading about the F1 in Guitar Buyer aswell, think they gave one away in the same issue.

If may, i'd like to chime in for Ran, as has been suggested by a couple of others. I was very happy with the service and the quality of the finished product, which was a very reasonable price (<£900). Although their prices have risen a little since i ordered (just over a year ago), i'd still recommend them to the n'th degree :)

That cost less than 900?!

Including delivery, vat etc?

Yep :) Including the flightcase too! I think the shipping was only about 40euros.

They can put BK's in there too, i didn't order mine with them though, but i swapped the SD JB in the bridge with a Nailbomb a couple of weeks ago, and it sounds even better now :)

I give a vote of support for maverick guitar's quality. Try to find the ones with the ribbed hardware - they are gems!

I think Chris has the mos metal shape there! Keep us posted on how it goes!

You and Bob hammered out some specs yet? (I didnt by now, though, took me a couple of weeks at least)

Edit: they in no way resmeble customs and dont have that qulaity level by a long way but I never played a bad maverick. The wortst I've encoutered is 'nothing special for the price'. Most are good value. I've played maybe 10 of em in total. I have heard of bad ones though, so its not all that good.

This is sort of a general idea of what it'll look like.


arg, you've out-metalled mine. Mine's basically a king v, non-offset. and it's not black either.
