My new Mullen is it a keeper????

Very well built beautiful machine Pecan Mica and chrome finish...... (would trade the legs for some a little shorter in same condition)
Very easy to play guitar compared to my push pull, but I am going to try and adapt to it and it may be hard going back after playing such soft pedals....

That's a cool guitar John! It sounds great to me, but if you're not happy with the sound, you may want to try those humbucker type pickups Mullen make. I have a pair in mine, and they do have a full, nicely balanced sound to them when used on their own, but I always have my guitar in the "both necks on" position anyway, as I prefer the thinner sound for recording.
Mullen D10 8+6, Fessenden U12 7+5. Contact www.sessionsteel.co.uk for Zoom lessons or session recording.

Zak, the guitar is a quality piece of engineering and beautiful to look at but an E66 on my push pull (the Green one) takes a lot of beating for sound I think they call it "Tone to the Bone" But , in favour of the Mullen, because the pedals and levers work so easily (and faultless) I can still play it though it towers above my Emmons by about two inches.... must have been built for a giant.... but I will eventually cut it down to be more comfortable with it.

You are dead right John, they are wonderfully engineered guitars. Slowly but surely the world is seeing sense.
Over here we have
Roy Heap, Derek Thurlby, Zak ?, Billy McKillop, Kevan Bartholomew, Connor Smith, You, and Me.
Of course we have the One and only Tommy White on our team, what more can you say.
Like you John, I was always an Emmons guy, and I do still love my old Emmons, but playing my Mullen does it for me every time.
