Does anyone know of a good repair establishment that can repair the mica that is completely coming off of my Mullen Universal?
It is about 3 years old and I really would like to get it fixed. It is rather depressing to play it and have to push the mica back on numerous amounts of time while playing.
Thanks I appreciate the info.

Bob,
How bad is the spot that is loose? If it is not too bad, you might get a small bottle of contact cement, and repair it yourself. Is there a psg repair person in your area or a local cabinet shop that specializes in Formica/countertops,check with them.

| I think a call or email to Mike Mantey, at Mullen, should be made before trying anything. |

The whole piece is loose on the back but I can't get it loose from under the end pieces to remove it. I had the unit last year at the Mullen factory for 3 months to have the pedals changed and asked about repairing it, but since it took so long to have the pedals changed, I told them to forget it. I like the idea John pointed me to but I may consult a local woodworking shop first and see what they say. Thanks

Bob, If you have a place who makes counter tops they can do it. they have the right glue knowledge. I had the same problem.

| I suggest you take the guitar to St Louis and give Del an opportunity to fix it during the convention. I think his customer service is very good and he wants to make you happy, just give him a chance. If you don't want to do that, then I would do as John Fabian suggested, get some lacquer thinner in between the mica and the body and clamp it quick before the lacquer thinner can evaporate and do as someone previously stated, use a board between the clamps and the mica. Don't get too free with the lacquer thinner get it on the fretboards or pickups as it can ruin them. |

Those ideas sound fine. Also some simple super glue will work as well. Put a small drop behind it and hold it or clamp for a minute and stuck. I wouldn't say that is a permanenant fix, but in order to do that, it needs to be torn down. I wish we could have had the opportunity to just do it when the guitar was at the shop. We do not have much time for repairs, thank goodness our guitars are so reliable. If you do bring the guitar to St. Louis I can look at it and determine what can be done.

Mike: I will bring it down to St. Louis and perhaps you can take a look at it again. The back piece is completly separated from the wood between the end pieces. I would rather have you guys fix it than someone who never has done so before. thanks for the reply. See ya next weekend.
Love the guitar Great sound
