E-Maverick

And so it happened; ESP did an Edwards version of the Maverick. After the ESP & LTD versions in February, the Maverick is now represented in three manifestations. Will a Grass Roots version take place soon? That aside, the Edwards Maverick features a Lil '59 in the neck position instead of a rail type single coil. Reminder: The Maverick features 27 frets.

Duncanized Paisley

The Paisley tele had undergone its initial makeover phase.

Pickups swapped out to Seymour Duncans:

• Neck: Alnico II Pro
• Bridge: Lil '59

Also- Gotoh brass saddles with rotation capabilities. Much twang was compromised here largely due to the pickups but I have other twang-worthy teles so no love lost, really. This guitar has a nut (factory) slotted for low profile settings & I'm grateful for that.
