Mine does this after I oil the changer. It’s like it’s pushing the old oil out.

Acquired this awesome Mullen today! Special thanks to Johnny Boyd for taking the time to help me and working with me to make the deal happen. He was very patient and gave me time to really check out t ...

If the guitar was functioning correctly and then began to have this issue, you were likely correct in your initial post. Something is binding.

I have tried several suggestions but I have found that Armor All does the best job for me. Spray it on a rag and wipe in on then use a soft cloth to polish it off. YMMV

I put a 15k Clay Alden pickup in mine and it’s great. Check out his site he has several different windings available.

Tips I remember from working on mine. 1. Screw the barrel to the half way point and then slide it next to the puller and tighten the set screw. That gives the most in or out adjustment for tuning. 2. ...

Also it is not a conversion. There was never a d 10 ldg.

In my option the 74 is the better built machine. I have a 74 Pro I that has the same barrel and 2 hole pull mechanics as the LDG you are looking at. They are a little temperamental with tuning as the ...

Also, never oil the barrels. They are meant to be dry. They should have resistance when turning.

The reason I asked about the body width is my bolt is a 10 1/4 inch body width. Same as the wrap around but has a D serial number.

When did the body size change take place?

I grew up playing music with a guy that always played Emmons bolt on push pull guitars. I have owned several steels and they just never lived up to what I wanted or sounded as good to me as the bolt o ...

I had this same issue on the G2 I used to have. Unfortunately the only way to have both of these changes working is to add a pull rod to pull the the string back up to the split note. The split tuning ...

Stage One (sold)
Mullen G2 (traded)
74 Sho Bud Pro 1 (still have)
67 Emmons Bolt (still have)

You could cut a slot in it with a Dremel tool then try a flat head screwdriver.

I looked at my changer on my push pull which also has the whole tone raise on the first string and mine is not misaligned that way. So I think there is definitely an issue.

And there you have it. Advice from someone who definitely knows what they are talking about. Cool!

That hook should be in one of those holes. One of the push pull experts may know which one. If not just try ...

Not sure of the year, but looks like a student model Zumsteel which eventually evolved into what is now the Stage One built by Doug Earnest.

I have owned 4 steels in my life and still have two of them. I started on a stage one, bought a 74 Sho-Bud pro 1, then a Mullen G2, and lastly, a 67 bolt on. The ShoBud is my second favorite and the p ...

Yes, those red ones shouldn’t be turned, but they also shouldn’t lose their settings if not turned so unless you messed with them that shouldn’t be the problem. If you did not use the exact stri ...

A little cleaning, replace the fret board, fix the A pedal issue(it’s probably something simple) and play the crap out of it. I’ve seen some real bad buds brought back to life. Yours is in relativ ...

If you are looking for the proper front decal the Emmons Guitar Company could probably assist with that.

My Mullen did that too. Unfortunately I think that just happens especially with thinner rods. They flex with pressure and vibrate when released. That’s why some guitar makers put foam blocks under t ...
