Thanks Bill.

I think I'll send them back with a covering note asking that they check what size they are. If they're 10s then a mistake has been made and they can send me 8s.

Hi,

I've just received a lift kit from Steel Guitar Nashville for my 2004 LeGrande III. I went for the 8/32 rod extenders after doing a bit of research on this forum and as advised on their site fo ...

An absolute legend. RIP Levon.

Dale,

I believe a BL-710 will fit in a Mullen RP as long as it's the 'Narrow Mount' style you go for.

I have some narrow mount BL-XR16s in my RP. They look pretty much identical to the 710s.

What Larry said.

I'd never even heard of Buddy Emmons or Lloyd Green until I started playing steel. What chance have the rest of us got. Laughing

England will definitely win. Very Happy

Jeff's instructional material is great value too. I bought his Up From The Top Series 4 years ago when I first started out. I still use it now.

Never played a Zum but I've owned a Mullen and a Rains. Both great guitars, you wouldn't be disappointed with either. Not a lot to choose between them.

You can't go wrong really. Very Happy

I'm 34 (Is that still young? Sounds old to me Sad

I ordered 2 narrow mount BL-XR16 pickups for my Mullen RP D-10 direct from Bill and Becky. They fit fine. I imagine their narrow mount BL-710s are no different. They look identical.

Seriously good Paolo. Very Happy

2008 RP with XR-16s through a Fender Twin.

This is what turned many of us "younguns" like me (35) onto the steel in the first place. It's more common these days than one would think.

I'm with you on that Ben. I have the double live album 'Redneck Jazz Explosion' - Buddy Emmons and Danny Gatton. Absolutley incredible playing from both men, but it's not the kind of thing I care to l ...

I too found the stock Mullen pickup a bit thin sounding, especially above the 12th fret. Also with it being a single coil it hummed a lot at gig volume.

I put some Bill Lawrence XR-16s in mine and ...
