Mule Resophonic Guitars

Mule Resonators specializes in handcrafted steel-bodied resonator guitars designed to inspire new musical ideas through tone, feel, and raw material honesty. Built for acoustic guitar players seeking something genuinely different, these single-cone and tricone resonators emphasize warmth, depth, and nuance rather than the sharp, metallic edge often associated with traditional resonator designs. By working directly with raw steel instead of chrome finishes, each instrument delivers a distinctive voice that awakens the ear, encourages new playing approaches, and opens creative pathways that standard tonewood instruments may not reveal.

Focused on craftsmanship and connection, Mule Resonators approaches guitar building as both a working-class art form and a deeply personal experience. Each steel resonator is designed to be highly playable, responsive, and musically expressive, making it easier for players to explore new sounds, write new songs, and rethink their relationship with acoustic instruments. Customers are supported throughout the build and ownership process with detailed build documentation and ongoing communication, reinforcing a philosophy rooted in transparency, quality, and long-term inspiration. For musicians searching for a new sonic direction, these steel resonator guitars offer a bold, honest sound shaped by material, intention, and hands-on craftsmanship.
