The Fender Custom (or Maverick) was a short-lived model released by the CBS-owned Fender in 1969. Essentially a six-string Fender Electric XII, it was an attempt to sell off unused factory stock instead of simply writing it off. The guitar features a Fender Electric XII body, pickups and neck, the latter with the holes for the tuning machines filled and veneered over, with a Mustang bridge.

  • The Fender Custom (or Maverick) was a short-lived model released by the CBS-owned Fender in 1969. Essentially a six-string Fender Electric XII, it was an attempt to sell off unused factory stock instead of simply writing it off. The guitar features a Fender Electric XII body, pickups and neck, the latter with the holes for the tuning machines filled and veneered over, with a Mustang bridge. It featured more prominently in sales material than its companion, the Swinger, but wasn't taken seriously (and was hardly expected to compete with the Stratocaster and Telecaster). A notable fan of the Fender Custom was Cheap Trick's lead guitarist Rick Nielsen.
