Normally I don’t like when thread is closed but I suggest this thread is perfect candidate for it.
This is why I quoted the most salient points from the original (un-edited) post on this thread:
Yeah I bought my first mullen from that guy that made those walker seats RIP and he gave me a terrific price that I couldn't pass up ,
Next I bought another from the forum and it is a PRP and it always sounded better than the other ones
Then I bought another badge one kinda weird color one , but I got a real good deal on that one too
I'm not gonna close it, but this is one of those cases that make a strong argument for posters not being able to edit their posts. However, I believe the downsides for disallowing edits significantly outweigh the upsides.

Now that I have took a Mullen down to parts, I see some things that could be a problem. The neck extending back over the changer could be a problem, The neck vibrating against the changer could be a problem. And that bar and screws you placed on the guitar, Pulled the neck down tight against the changer.

I have heard about the Carter guitars being pounded together. That would be a No No, On a Mullen. The Pre Royal Precision Mullen has 4 alignment pins, 2 on the nut roller bracket and 2 on the changer.

They are roll pins mounted in changer and the nut roller bracket. One on the chamber is visible in the lower shadow area.
