Chris, How would you describe the neck on the Maverick? Mike described it as a medium D. I feel like my '79 Sunburst has more shoulder in its profile (leaning more D than C?) than my SB77 or my '99 Standard. I like all three of those necks, though favoring the '79 a bit. I would appreciate your input! Dan

I'd like to go with Mike's standard neck though. As long as it's not described as skinny, I'm sure I'll be fine. [[ just very excited in the WAIT ]]

Explorer, SG, reverse Firebird shapes don't work for me. It also helped that I didn't have the cash when the initial run was announced.

ArnieZ Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I also went with the DC. I think I may have been able to squeeze in on the original run but knew I didn't want the explorer shape. I didn't want to take the opportunity away from someone else in the HFC. So I waited. The neck's on the Shishkov's. DC and SC are bigger than the Hamer vintage carve but not 58 59 LP territory.

tbonesullivan Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I also am not really a fan of the Explorer body shape at all. I like doublecut LP Jr style guitars. I also can tolerate single cuts as long as they are comfortable and sound great.
bubs_42 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 The Ultimates have some major wood in the neck area.

hamerhead Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Well yeah, it's probably chambered too, but I didn't want to be mean.

django49 Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Good thing I am NOT as old as the number of guitars stashed away.....

I wasn't sure where the number "sixty-five" or "0065" has been referenced. I had not heard that Mike was either going that high on the current numbering scheme or that he had locked in that number for somebody doing a custom order?
