I am considering a new Mullen double neck.
I now have a Zum. I have 2 questions about
these two guitars.
1. are the floor pedals on the Mullen as
soft as the Zum?
2. Is there a weight difference in the two
guitars?
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Jim...the pedal action on the two are very similar, smooth and easy. The Mullen will weigh in a little lighter as the body is a little shorter. They are both awesome guitars, can't go wrong with either one.

I too have owned both brands and totally agree that they are among the best made today. Action and playability are top notch. And you'll never find nicer folks than Del and Bruce. You can't go wrong with either brand.

I have to agree with Roger. I've got a Mullen, in fact it's an older one (August 1990 model I think), which according to Dixie was built for Bucky Baxter. The action and tone of this guitar has to be experienced to be believed. It's incredible.

The two Zum's I've played were also top notch in both tone and playability.

Like was said...you can't go wrong with either one. In fact, if I had my wishes, I'd have one of EACH!

Jim,
maybe before switching you need to play one first, to see and hear if you like it.
