New Toy for Retirement

John Palumbo · Post by **John Palumbo** » 18 Nov 2021 5:47 pm

Being's I just retired I decided to treat myself to a new Mullen an S-10, Burgundy Pointe G2. It took a little longer than expected but really worth the wait. I can't get over how easy it is to play, the pedals and knee levers are so easy to engage and I do like the standard single coil pickup.
It was also nice to get a follow up call from Mike Mantey just to make sure I was satisfied with the purchase.
Just Thanks to the whole crew at Mullen!

That's a great looking guitar. I saw that Mullen was offering a S-10 now. I'm glad to see one.

John...beautiful guitar...congratulations!

Quick question...how wide is your S-10...doesn't appear to be a step-down?

You just can't beat a Mullen and all the crew. I've had mine since 2009 (new) and still plays great. I just don't get to play much any more. Covid really hurt the music industry.
Congrats on your new Mullen, you'll love it forever.

The best thing about buying a Mullen G2? Knowing you'll never need to upgrade to something better!

When I bought my G2 back in 2018 I knew it was my forever pedal steel. Congrats on yours and enjoy your retirement

Congrats. I have one just like it, except Birdseye mica. Love it. I played it on 85 gigs from April through October this year, and it stays in tune perfectly and plays so smooth and accurate. And it doesn't break strings.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Have fun with that bad boy.

I generally don't like red steel guitars, but THAT is just absolutely BEAUTIMOUS (a couple of steps up from plain beautiful).

Tom, its 32" x 8" & does not step down.
Thanks

Not to hijack John's thread, but here's my Mullen G2 S-10, single body, purchased earlier this year. The extra wide body in the rear took some getting used to, but I find that it's very handy for setting accessories on (and beer). As I mentioned above, I've played this on 85 gigs so far this season and the guitar has played like a dream. Stays in tune well, very smooth and accurate, and hasn't broken a string yet.

Awesome Doug, congrats on yours it's a beauty, enjoy it!!
So glad Mullen came out with a S-10. Great guitars!

Thanks John! I really like the red mica on yours. I almost went with red, but the Birdseye won out. ðŸ˜Š

Are these just SD-10 bodies without a pad and thus called a S-10? It is difficult to tell how much body there is from the pics but it looks to be quite a bit.

Andy, No these are not SD-10 bodies but they are 8" deep.

Andy,
What's deciving is there is no step down from the neck...so it appears quite wide.
I have a Mullen HW-RP S10 and the width of the guitar is 8".
But...my guitar has the step down that visually makes it look more narrow...also has a 1/2 pad.

Doug Beaumier · Post by **Doug Beaumier** » 23 Nov 2021 8:10 am

Mullen calls them "Single 10, Single Body" ...not SD-10. I haven't seen one with a pad yet, but maybe Mullen would put a small pad on if a customer requested one...?

Here are more pics, previously posted here on the forum.
