What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: Instrument was inspected upon arrival and found to be in excellent playing and cosmetic condition—no work required. 

The Mavis Mule Resonator is one of those rare instruments that feels truly original the moment you pick it up. Built in the USA with a carved roasted pine back and roasted maple top, this lightweight resonator delivers a warm, woody voice with a naturally reverby bloom that sits beautifully between an acoustic resonator, archtop, and electric guitar. The roasted maple bolt-on neck with its soft V-to-C feel and ebony fingerboard makes it effortlessly comfortable, while the Mule Tomthumbucker mini-humbucker adds rich, clear character with plenty of vintage bite. Finished in hand-rubbed Osmo oil and loaded with boutique craftsmanship, this Mule is a seriously inspiring piece—and a smart long-term investment for players who want something soulful, rare, and unmistakably special.

Manufacturer's Description from Other

Ah.. The Mavis.  Like the hit song that writes itself in the shower after a lifetime of working on songs, the first Mavis brought together different parts of my guitar making journey in one feverish week of inspired exploration. 

 

I can't tell you what to do with it other than to make it your own.  Although it's a solid body guitar some people record it acoustically.  Doug Wamble plays Jazz on it. Adam Miller finds his fingerstyle grooves on it.   Tyler Bryant burns it to the ground.  If you're looking for instrument that will show you things, this is it.   It's not specifically an acoustic instrument, thats what our steel resonators are for, but its considerably lighter than the steel ones if that's a concern for you.
