Upgraded to a pro-level D10 a few months back, but I would still get a substantial amount of use out of my Fender Student S10 3/1 if it had a second knee lever, i.e. LKL to raise the E's to F.

Does anybody have a full set of all the parts necessary to install one of these? I'm under the impression that a Fender Student is essentially a rebadged Sho-Bud Maverick pull-release, so Maverick parts should suffice? I looked on psgparts.com already and didn't find them.

Thanks in advance!

Dave

There were two Sho-Bud Mavericks. The original blonde 6138 with a raised neck, teardrop headstock 70's and the 6152 80's brown vinyl flat neck tray tuners. They are very different underneath. Which one do you need?

Jackson Steel Guitars might be able to help you.

The latter, with the flat-sheet neck and tray tuners. (All of the Fender-branded Mavericks are of this style, I believe)

OK. Sorry but I don't know a source for parts for the 6152 Maverick.

Whilst both your Fender and the Maverick are pull-release, the undercarriages are different. The Fender is more refined and closer to a pro-level pull-release guitar.

Sho Bud Maverick:


Michael Yahl at PSG Parts should have everything you need (depending on in-stock status) to add up to three more levers (or more): https://www.psgparts.com/main.sc
