Is a Mullen guitar ok to start with if you are just learning to play? Please help. I am going to look at one tomorrow and I think it is a good deal. Thanks for the help.

Is this not an appropriate question? I just rejoined today and hope this is ok to ask.

Mullen are fine guitars. My personal favorite FWIW. Great action and sound.

Since we don't know which model, the condition or build era you are referring to, it's hard to be more specific.

Welcome back to the fold.

Donâ€™t think Mullen actually ever built a â€œbadâ€ guitar. Even their starters are pro-capable.

I've been very happy with both of my Mullen!

Been playing a Mullen guitar since 2009. I bought it new, and have never looked back. Best guitar I've ever owned. You can't go wrong.

Love mine! I can only WISH I'd had one to start on! ðŸ˜ƒ

Thanks for the response. I bought it today and I love it so far. Where do Iind a scale for the E 9 th. Tuning with and without pedals pushed down so I can put tape on fret board to know where chords are.

I bought mine in 95 and it is still my main guitar to this day! Need I say more.

Get ahold of ...

Anthology of E9 Pedal Steel guitar
I bought mine from Buddy Charleton when I started out.

There isn't a page in there that doesn't teach you something. Scales from big E and others. Simple tunes that will get you going fast IMHO.

Get some of the Erv Niehaus tabs if you want to learn a lot of chords and how to put them together.

Then go here... https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=329975

Enjoy!

Here she is.

Atsa beauty!

Posted: **24 Jun 2020 1:48 pm**

Looks a little like this one!

Posted: **25 Jun 2020 5:19 am**

Nice! I think yours is a pre Royal Precision, if you see people talking about a HWP or Herby Wallace model that's also a pre RP. if you have questions there's been lots of threads about them and often the head builder Mike Mantey will give detailed info. Helps if you put "Mullen" in thread title.

Rotated a little:

Beauty. I also like your workbench.

That dog will hunt!

(But feel free to ask any ?s about Mullen in the Pedal Steel subforum)

Posted: **25 Jun 2020 4:52 pm**

Yeah Barry. I made my shop into my music room and made a new shop. Just refinished the workbench.

The only number I can find is 2768
