How many guitars can you put in a Maverick's bed?

[B. Maverick]

I received my 2023 Area 51 XLT on October 12, 388 days after ordering her. I decided to find out how many guitars could fit into the bed of the truck. The results are far from complete. But I was able to fit three Martins, one Gibson, and four Fenders without any trouble at all. Lots more room there. This works. And I'm loving the way she drives.

You can double that amount if the guitars are friendly.

If you get a truck bed cargo net, the kind that goes over the bed, you can stack them.

 

[WildGrok]

And you can fit also like 20 banjos and 10 ukeleles

Wildgrok: you tryin’ to get me arrested? Throw in some bagpipes and it’s life without a melody.

You can fit lots more if there electrics in flat cases.

One of those guitars was an offset, but I didn’t have all the solid bodies there. Is that first guitar a Danelectro or a Rickenbacker?

Nice guitars. I checked out the certificate of authenticity

Looks like you could carry a whole band’s worth of equipment Maybe a new marketing promo for our Mavs

THIS is the kind of load testing I live for..

Follow-up question: could you fit a full size drum kit & the bass players gear? Plus amps?

So many possibilities! So much better than a trunk!

if you couldn’t tell, this is my first truck.

That is about the best haul you could ask for to fill that truck with! You also got the coolest color, (which is no longer available) great choice.

As a guitar player...............you clearly need more guitars.

I'm just a hobbyist so mine never leave my office/studio. My lowly Gibson Studio is may favorite guitar followed closely by the Fender Pro II and the Epi 339 (which is the cheapest of the bunch).
