Mullen D-10 finally arrived!

Post by Bill Fulbright »

I got it. I got it.

It is such a fine instrument. I am already working out on the C6 neck and loving it. I have recreated some of the instrumentals I was working on about a year ago when I sold my U-12 to buy a studio.

I just THOUGHT I could get along without a steel.

Talk about a "jones"! Sold my '74 Martin D-35 and a 1978 Fender Strat / ASH body, and Monstertone pickups to get it!!

I am SOOOOO glad I went with the D-10. I liked the U-12, and my have one again one day, but as a second guitar for special tunings.

The tone on this Mullen is deeevine. The whole neck is a "sweet spot"!! Both necks.

Apologies for gushing, but I just had to tell. Thanks again to Mark Tulbert for giving me the opportunity to to own this fine guitar.

I've had my D-11 9 & 8 for over 11 years and am thinking about a new Mullen. It is awesome in looks, tone and quality. I almost love it as much as my wife and I adore her.

Congrats, Bill - from a fellow new, giddy Mullen owner (got my burgandy SD10 a month ago this week). Even my non-musician friends who have heard me gig with it comment on the clarity and ability to "cut through". ENJOY!
