I agree, it's a wonderful looking and I bet great sounding guitar. My only concern for this on and several others I've seen is that it is 3/4. I guess I just don't understand why not 3/5 as standard. Just me I guess.
So Mike is this new baby called the RG ? (part Royal and part G2) Dickie the Web site says that it is available with 3 & 5. We will see the Mullen crew in St. Louis. Save me a trial run Mike. Larry
Nice job! Good luck with this to all my friends at Mullen. It's good for the players to have lots of guitars to choose from, as everyone doesn't have the same wants or needs.
Thank You Doug and the rest of you for your posts.
I want to clear up one thing. This is not a Student model.
It is considered a flight/gig guitar. We have always had requests for a light guitar (this is 44 lbs in case) and also Single bodies. This guitar achieves all this with complete professional mechanics. The other thing we were asked for is an affortable guitar for students. This is the best we can do. For what your getting in this guitar it is a steel. So thank you all for your interest.
P.S. This guitar has an amazing tone, I am sure many from the convention can tell you about it.
I sat in on the blue S10 (pictured above) in the Mullen room for a while Thursday night at the show. It responded and sounded great. I never for one moment thought I was sitting at a "student" model guitar. It is a lightweight, solidly-built, full-functioning pro guitar as far as I'm concerned. I would love to have one for my fly dates or some of my hit&run showcases that I do around town with songwriters where I know I won't be needing my C6th neck. Heck, I could've played my whole set at the ISGC this year on this guitar since I didn't have any jazz or western-swing tunes on my set. So, don't underestimate the capabilities of this little jewel. It may only weigh 27 pounds but it has quite a punch and can growl like a big dog with the right player behind it!
I tryed the guitar out and it is a pro guitar . It plays great ,sounds great and is very light to pick up or fly to your job with. Great for people with bad backs and knees. I would be proud to play this guitar on any stage. Buck Grantham
