The Fender Custom models were assembled from around 800 surplus Electrix XII necks and bodies. This explains the strange looking peghead which is a 12 string design but adapted for the 6 string custom. Some of these models have Maverick on the peghead - this was the original name for this model but Fender changed their mind about it.
