Maverick Build / Restoration

[punkacc9]

Yes I bought Pats Maverick body. I am going to try and make an extremely close replica. Only thing is I haven't decided if I wanna do the factory sunburst or Paint it OTM haha

The body has no excess routing or anything. It was refinished IBM. I am going to keep the finish on it for a while until I have the cash for Rhoney to paint it. Hopefully The grain is still good after the paint and it would be really cool if the original finish was still under it. If anyone has any pictures of the body before the refinish please send me them!

I will be using a very close replica of the maverick neck from Cross. It is basically an xii neck but with a shorter headstock. HNB made me made me up the logo. I just have to find a place to print it now.

You guys think I should restore the whole thing like an original Maverick or make it my own and do it in OTM like my mockup? Also, Matching headstock or not. Can't decide.

Here's a picture of the body together before Pat got the sunburst body.





Some sexy body shots.

Here's a little visual explanation how they made the Maverick headstocks. They cut out that red box and then slid the top down, then veneered over it. check out that joint in the third picture.

Not much of an update, but Cross got the Maverick headstock template done.

im wondering if you'd get the headstock to match the body.
it shouldn't be that easy, am i right?
well and if it would be possible than id stay with it and do the matching headstock.

otherwise your a bit free to make with it what you want.

That will be awesome.

I don't think I'm gonna match the headstock on it. Im going for a replica of the original. I'll probably keep the IBM though until I have the money to refinish it in a burst.

This is getting real:








Time to buy a new router blade though. I'm starting to get burnouts.

It's ok but not professional. I think I'm gonna just completely restore it to stock. I might keep it IBM for a while though to save some cash.

This is stressful work. Getting better and quicker with each block I do.
Don't want to stuff this one up!
