I agree 100%.

I was referring to thew ebow's post here:
i was looking at it in a madway..considering to convert it to a maverick/custom xii...so in essence buying it.. taking the best neck to make a near perfect custom as mine is a bit crappy.. then taking bad neck and refin body.taking filled in  through body block out. putting in xii  bridge parts and saddles and adding 6 tuners on to head...

i've changed my mind.. i have seen the error of my way..

how could i repsect myself..it would be like killing one thing becuase i was trying to be cheap.. :k i apologise about my post!

i think the way forward is to buy it as a sister for my exisiting one..

i am going to sell a few things...i might loose it in the interim..but then again it is a refin..

thanks for advise guys..

it was only because again i was dreaming of a xii and came in contact with a maverick..seems to be a curse or a miracle..depending on your thoughts!

So is it labeled as a "Custom" or "Maverick"?  Can you post  a pic?

No, they're the same - my XII body sat in my Jazzmaster case while I waited to get the neck built, and it was a perfect fit. Of course with the neck on it no longer fits in the case...

Are they really the same?  Hmmm, I always though they looked a tad different.  Good info to know....
