| I have seen and heard this guitar. It is in great shape as Fred stated and it has an excellent tone. Fred is a honest person to deal with. |

Thanks for the kind words Morton.. This guitar does have that great Mullen tone and I would certainly keep it if I hadn't recently purchased a beautiful G2..

Hey Lee! I wondered what that 'shorty' lever was for, as there was no rod or bellcrank attached when I bought it..
I just left it there and listed 5 levers on the sale.
Thanks for the info!!

| Is this a half pad as I would prefer no pads but a Mullen is a Mullen. How heavy? Wheels on case? Emmons or day setup? |

The pad is removable, Weighs 59 lbs. in the case, which is the original from Mullen, no wheels. Emmons pedals..

| I’m interested what model is it again? Does it need or have compensaters or a way to add it on the 12string? |

Marty, it's a pre Royal Precision, which many claim were the best sounding until the G-2.. It doesn't have or need compensators.

Marty, the vertical knee is connected and lowers string 5, B to Bb. You can still get any parts for this guitar from Mullen. The 6th knee lever and cross shaft are installed, but will need bellcranks and pull rods to use.

| This guitar is in great shape and sounds like a Mullen should. (Great! ) It’s a pretty steel, and going to make someone very happy. I know Fred Thomson personally. He takes very good care of his music equipment and is a down right great guy. |

Dwight, thank you for your kind words and friendship! You are one special and talented guy yourself and probably the reason I bought a G2 after hearing you play yours! If my other Zum S-12 wasn't in Maine, I'd probably sell that instead of this Mullen, because this one sounds and plays that good!
At 90 years old, I don't need 4 steels..
