They're all good. Whether you go for an RP or a G2 just depends on the budget. :mrgreen:

Thanks Dave. I saw Tommy White playing a RP on YouTube. Sounded great as anything he touches would...

Wayne, Tommy has both a G2 and a Royal Precision if I’m not mistaken. I think his G2 is the GOO guitar. Both are great guitars, but the G2 has some features that pushed me in that direction. Their website lists them all, but for me it was split tuning on all strings with set screws in the end of the neck, wide mount pickup cavity to accept all modern pickups, new changer design and pull system. I’ve been gigging for the past six years with my SD10, and have never broken a string. They look great, play great, sound great, and the Mullen crew will take care of you regardless of the model you buy.

He wanted to trade for my 8 an 7 Emmons's Legrande 111that he liked.

But he was thinking even trade for my Emmons an it didn't work out for me.
I'd be interested in talking to him.
Thanks,

If budget allows, G-2. Always G-2.

I only have experience with the G2, but I gotta say, it was the best investment I have ever made. G2 stays in tune very well, is built like a tank, very easy to make changes to, plays very easy, and sounds terrific!

I had a G2 and it was a very nice guitar. Really easy to change copedents on and solid. Played great. I just never loved the sound. I'm a Sho Bud guy, and the G2 just sounded a bit sterile to my ears. Tried different pickups and all, but never really made it to the sound I wanted. The sound of my permanents outweighed the convenience of the G2's engineeering. But I'm not in to most of the modern styles that demand fancy copedents anyway.

Really nicely made guitar though. As good as I've seen.

Don't matter what you buy, as long as it says Mullen on the front.
