The Steel Guitar Forum

After having to miss out on a D10 Emmons from Billy Knowles due to home repairs, I scraped enough to get a new Mullen G2 SD-10......

She's loaded for bear....













I know some folks won't agree with the copedant or how loaded it is but it's the way I wanted it and the great folks at Mullen delivered. I'm one happy camper.

She's a fine lookin' steel Dickie...congrats! I'll bet you're having a ball getting to know this baby...not to mention the fun that new BIG Black Tuning wrench is giving you keeping it in tune! ha ha Enjoy it brother...you earned it. Carl

Congrats Dickie, your gonna love it. Larry

What's that brass looking springy thing in the first picture? I have a G2 and it don't got one of them. Is that the new secret stuff they are puttin on them now

Clark, that's a half stop. Using Sho-Bud barrel. RKR bellcrank moves along the shaft freely, hitting the barrel at D, continuing on to C#. The barrel screws and unscrews to tune D.
PS: utterly gorgeous, Dickie.

Clark, that is Mullen's "heavy duty", 2nd string half-stop that I ordered with it.

I've always had a problem "overshooting" the half-stop on string 2, so when Mike Mantey told me about this option, I told him to add it on.

So far I'm in love with it, I'm hitting the half-stop good, more than worth the money in my humble opinion.

Oops, sorry Lane, didn't see your post when I was typing Clark's reply.

Thanks Land and Dickey,
I just may have to get one...........

Fine looking guitar

That is one fine looking Steel Mr. Whitley. Congrats.

That is close to what I'll be playing when I grow up.

Hey Peter,
If I could just play HALF as good as you play I'd consider myself really "grown up."

Dickie, I'm a little jealous right now...that's what I would like, with all those pedals if not the same changes...could I play all of it?, probably not, but it would sure be fun trying.

Thanks guys, and Dale, that's what I'll be doing, having fun trying. Ready for that long journey...

Sweet guitar! Congrats!
