I have a Mullen G2 and love this guitar. Had it lacquered and they did a beautiful job.
I'M a Unconditional lover of Steel guitar and the sound I hear is fantastic, Bravo
A Mullen lover and a Mullen owner, can’t get any better! Thanks guys
What a sweet old man who doesn't show his age at all! Wish I had a grandpappy like him! And the music and the steel guitars... Oh, my: doesn't get better than that!
They make great instruments - I love playing mine!
I have had a Sierra & an MSA, they were also referred to as the Rolls Royce of Pedal Steel Guitars, but they aren't around any more.
Mullen had his shop in Strasburg, before Flagler. He's somebody that I used to know.
Mullen guitars are played by The Who’s who of steel players. They are certainly the biggest builder these days and for good reason! Mike is super fantastic!
I'm gonna try one of these out, next January in Dallas at the convention.
I've had a chance to be around a few different steel guitars in past few yrs an some good players but never forget when I heard the first sound from a Mullens I loved it could set an listen all day any day hope someday I'll be able to have one myself before I leave here
I'd like to see a feature length documentary or a reality show about this.
Those are great sounding steel guitars! And so cool that they are built by a family business!
Real handcrafted pedal steel guitars. Cheers to ya guys
Yep the Mullen...sweeeeeet deep steel
The man is one of the great geniousies behind this wonderful instrument among others .but to have your own work shop factory in your own back garden/yard ..oops ranch incredible😁 I play an MCI twin 😁😅 try to play .👏👏👏👏👏👏🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸🥃
These are nice guitars, I should have bought one 30 years ago.
I did and am still playing it.
I am partial to Mullen😀
SUCESSO.
Mullen=lots of cabinet drop! You want the best? ZUM!!!
Hi like to have one in S A
The rolls Royce if steel guitar??? That would Emmons. No comparison as far as tone.
What makes that Emmons tone so beautiful? Supposedly a push-pull guitar. Today, only pull guitars are made. Today’s guitars stay in tune better, have less maintenance hassles. So, what makes that Emmons sound so good? The single coil pickup? A 705 humbucker sounds powerful, but it is not the Emmons tone. The rollers? Steel or brass are used on instruments. Nickel versus stainless steel strings? Old guitars use nickel, which feel good to play, but rust and break. How about the string gauges? Heavier strings break less with repeated stretching. Overtone harmonics? The plastic thumb pick thickness and brass versus nickel versus steel finger picks? What is your opinion? I love those old Emmons and possibly Sho-Bud instruments sound, but, in 2022, I have to go with the modern stuff due to parts. I forgot to mention cables. Amps- a Fender tube amp or a Peavey solid state amp? Peavey is reliable and has many modern features. I love the old Fender tube amps, but they are delicate, tube replacement is expensive, the amps are heavy and expensive. But, yes, the touch response sensitivity and clarity is lovely on a Fender amp.
or Franklin or Infinity.
