Been playing this one for a month and this resonator moved to the top of my guitars. The neck, one of the best necks (out of 50 or so guitars I've played, including electrics). Tone is great. It had playability and tone (I own each metal bodied guitars from brands that get them imported and they either have tone or playability, one of them gets sweet but needs neck reset, a project guitar lol, but the mule rules the roost).
And wow. Plugged in sounds great.
I went brass and its just awesome. I got powder coat, and its excellent.
It came with 13's and normally I run acoustics (wooden) with 12's, but 13's I barely notice it. One of the fun-est things is do flamenco strums and most resos turn into a muddy mess, but this guitar actually carries the note clarity a good acoustic does.
The reso has some weight (but so do all resonators), and my friend has a brass nickel reso from another great US (if you're into resos you know), it is a tricone, and it has tone, but the neck is not as fast or fitting like a glove like a mule. I got the best of both worlds (tone n playability).
Def going to get a partner resonator to join (it's #1 but lonely at the top! LOL).
ONe day my musicianship and guitar chops will catch up to this.
Hey Matt, I’m on the wait list for a resonator. I’m wondering if you could compare the sound of a resonator to a Mavis. I’m assuming that the resonator has more body resonance - much like the comparison of an acoustic to an electric. With that said, the Mavis has the same resonator on board, so maybe they are actually closer. Many thanks!
Hey Robert! You're exactly right. People definitely play teh Mavis unplugged when recording on such for a really different sound, but teh steel reso is a fuller sound because of the bigger body and steel. THey are very different animals acoustically. Plugged in you can tell they are both resonators but again, the resos are much fuller sounding than the Mavis.
Hey Christine - later this year I'll be opening a limited amount of spots for international orders. We were getting a ton of international orders and with all the logisitcs issues recently it got to be a real headache. Thanks for understanding.
I hear my phone keep ringing yeah I know it sound like a long distance call
I picked up my receiver The party said another muuuuuhuule
People, that morning I go home . . . the whole neighborhood was standing there grinning at me, laughing saying another muuuuuhuule
After a while I went back home, put my hands in my pocket, got my key out and unlocked that door and there stand my wife was crryyying she said another muuuuuhuule
The little girl was jumping up on the floor, she was patting her hands together, she batting her eyes, she was looking straight at me and she was sayin, sayin Muddy Water, another mule kicking in your stall
Just randomly checkout out the website and saw I could add the Resonator to my cart! Yay! Deposit sent, excited to be part of the Mule family and can't wait to configure this baby :)
Hey all! I’m going to keep the April waitlist open until Saturday at 8pm to make sure anyone who encountered website trouble can get on the list. Thanks!
Hi Matt! Just sent a message from the contact option on the site but was wondering what I have to do to get on the next waitlist for the resonator? Is there a link; where should I go? Thanks man!
Had one other question or two After the deposit is made and you’re building the guitar, you’ll send an invoice for the remaining balance and we send it along? It will take at least a year-correct?
Matt, do you have some advice on how to get strings through the slots when putting on a new set. I'm talking about the ball end.
It's time for some Mule Kickin blues
Can a right hand guitar be easily converted to left hand by reversing the nut and busquit?
Is it possible to get a brass reso with a copper cover?
Hey Matt! Working up the courage to put in an order. Does the brass option add weight? If so, how much?
Thanks,
Tom
As I understood it from Matt, the brass reso is actually a little lighter than the steel resonator.
Are there any additional shipping fees or taxes applied if ordering within the U.S.?

Hello from Camano Island Washington! As of July 9th, I joined the Mule family and eagerly await my resonator

Hey Dan- come back here on the 1st at 6pm eastern and you’ll be able to add the deposit to your cart.
Thanks Matt!!..see you then
Howdy Matt,
Had one other question or two After the deposit is made and you’re building the guitar, you’ll send an invoice for the remaining balance and we send it along? It will take at least a year-correct?
Got on the list. Thanks for changing things up this month. That helped. Now to find the patience to wait 15 months. It is gonna be so worth it.
I’m leaving this open longer because of the delay at the beginning
