The first Mavericks werelike a Pro 1 without the "Step" Also the first ones didn't have slotted rollers on the nut.I have reconditioned and upgraded tons of them to 3/3 and 3/4 and they work out great.The biggest problem was the "Coat Hanger" pulls. It isn't really that hard to convert one of these guitars.Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works
