Evolution

F3

Providing what is still regarded as today's classic pick-up configuration, 2 'A' series humbuckers are perfectly matched to our overwound "Alnico V" single coil. What becomes apparent when switching between the five pick-up options is the guitars balanced output, which has great benefit under both live and recording conditions. The F3 comes with our custom built Floyd Rose tremelo unit, which provides real stability even under extreme use. Flexible sound options and dependable tuning make the F3 one of our most requested guitars. [Source: 2002 Maverick Catalogue]
