Overhauled 1995 Black Mullen Pre-RP D10 +SOLD+

Post by Mickey Adams »

1995 Black Mullen D10, black pedals and levers. SOLD
Sperzel Tuners, Stock Mullen Pickups.
Emmons E9 Copedent with 7 string whole tone pull, and
2nd string 1/2 pull. Standard C6 copedent.
A few scratches in the front apron. The pedal bar is pretty rough, needs a professional polishing, and was tapped for an Emmons style pedal. Thats where the flaws stop. When I recieved this guitar, this is what my inspection noted.
1:Es not returning to pitch properly on E9
2:Headstock screws missing E9
3:Changer shows signs of little or NO lubrication
4: String 6 not returning to pitch properly
5: Changer hangs on pedal C Raise, lowering finger bent interferes.
6: C6 copedent completely non-standard
7: String 4+5 C6 Pedal 4 non-tunable (Pedal Stop too short)
8: Neck screws over torqued
9: End plate screws loose


This guitar sounds and plays fabulous. It has been COMPLETELY overhauled...So for the inquiring mids...heres a list of the things I accomplished
Total tear down.
1:Removed all pedal stops and center rail. 5 new bushings inserted and lubed entire cross shaft group.
2: Remove changers. Soaked in solvents, Sonic bathed, lubed with Jet Engine Oil, checked all raise lower function.
3: Replaced 6 worn return springs
4: Cleaned and polished comb plates
5: Reassembled Guitar
6: Re-rodded both necks to factory specs
7: Hand polished both necks
8: Restrung with New Jagwire Strings
9 Reset ALL pedal Stops
10: Tuned all pedal stops and the entire guitar to Newmans tuning.
10: Tested through amp and played the guitar for 1 hour.
It doesnt sound like a lot...but it took me ALL Day today to finish...Offered for 2750.00,plus shipping.
Mullen or Zum Guitars only if interested in trading.
I will guarantee this guitar for 1 year from date of purchase. During that period I will repair this unit for the cost of shipping to me only..
.Thanks for looking!...Mick

It's sort of a shame that recent events have made it necessary to give a line item accounting and time justification of work that was done to refurb a fine guitar like this one. But as an instrument maker/repairman myself (banjos, but regardless of what others may think they're still really instruments!), I don't think it's a bad thing to bring these details out.

That's a lot of work that Mickey has put in on this guitar, but it's not anything that would be obvious if you just bought it without being able to compare it to its previous state. With your basic Ebay guitar purchase, you have no idea what you're getting. Mickey has spelled it out here in detail!

what a nice looking steel here. these pre royals in my opinion are the best sounding ones. and if Mickey fixed here up you can bet it is ready to play with ease.
