Summary

Do you dream about bluesy and dirty tones, but feel like your guitar isn't right for it? Boy howdy, do I have some guitars you NEED to hear.  We're exploring three phenomenal instruments from Mule Resophonic Guitars. Get ready for an in-depth comparison of these unique resonator guitars, showcasing their distinct sounds and features. The first guitar we'll be discussing is my beloved Mule Tricone resonator. This was the first Mule guitar I ever got my hands on, and it's a true work of art. Handmade with an all-steel body, this tricone resonator in a single cone resonator body offers a deep, bluesy tone that'll make you fall in love with resonators and slide guitar all over again. Next up is the Mule Mavis resonator guitar – a super-slim, acoustic-electric marvel. If you're looking for versatility, this guitar has got you covered. We'll be exploring the wide range of tones this beauty can produce, from warm and mellow to bright and punchy. Finally, we'll be checking out the Blue Mule Resonator. This gem sports a stylish cutaway for easy access to those higher frets, and when mic'd up, you'll be amazed by its round tone with less bite than the other resonators.
