Mule

Question about pickup options for the Mavis. Can you get a pickup on the cone and a blend control between the cone and magnetic pickups?

Has anyone had an experience like this?
I recently  noticed that when I go up high on the neck of my 12 fret single cone resonator- like to fret 12, especially on the high e string, the string is hitting on the higher frets so that the note does not speak well. I sighted the neck to see if it was curved and it seems that when the neck hits the body of the guitar it curves upward. So essentially it is like the fretboard has a "kink" in it. Also I noticed that the fingerboard has a space where the neck joins the body.  I took it to my guitar tech, Tucker Barrett( formerly of Froggy Bottom Guitars) and he confirmed that there was a problem. This is a shame because I'm about to leave for Memphis to represent Vermont in the International Blues Competition as a solo act (which I won in the state last October). I probably could still play it, but I really think I should send it to Mule to be repaired.Is there any warranty for an issue like this????

Can anyone tell me what gauge strings are normally on the Mule (What they come with?)

Thanks

Is a single cut version possible?

Does anyone know if the top and back are completely flat or do they contain a slight radius. Seems like the top and back could be thicker than a regular flattop because you want the resonator to produce the sound, not the top. Therefore with a heavier build you might not need the extra strength that an arched top and back provide?? Would love to hear thoughts on this!

 Thanks 

Hey Mike!  the body is torrefied maple. Pricing will be similar to resos but it will they will only be available off the website (now wait list) and whenever I make them. Sometimes I get the fever! You'll want to stay tuned to the emails. It will be a few months before I start selling them.
