Description
A superb example of Mule resophonics Mavis model in its highest-spec configuration! A striking example of contemporary resonator design, blending the raw expressiveness of a resonator guitar with the playability and aesthetic refinement of a modern boutique instrument. Handmade by Mule Resophonic Guitars in Michigan, this Mavis features a carefully considered roasted wood body and an array of thoughtful premium upgrades that set it apart visually and sonically.
Visually, the guitar is defined by its flame maple top and flame maple neck, a cutaway for upper-fret access, and a full Italian tortoiseshell control plate, giving it a presence that sits somewhere between classic Americana and a top tier hand crafted contemporary instrument.
Underneath its surface, the Mavis combines a single-cone resonator system with resonant body construction that delivers a characterful and robust sound offering excellent volume and resonance, with a sonic personality that speaks to both blues and roots traditions as well as contemporary expression.
The neck profile feels intuitive in the hand, while the balanced layout of controls offers flexibility when amplified. Tonally it inhabits a unique sonic space: it can deliver clarity and rich mid-range on clean passages, or a gutsier, more driven character when pushed, all while retaining that resonant, dynamic response that defines resonator-based instruments.
Unlike traditional metal-bodied National-style resonators that can feel heavy and niche, the Mavis is engineered to be a versatile playing tool. Its design philosophy, as reflected in player reviews, emphasises a resonator voice that is alive under the fingers whether fingerpicked, played with a slide, or amplified, and not pigeonholed into a single style.
Together with its original hardshell case and thoughtfully selected premium options (flame maple top and neck, cutaway for upper access, full tort control plate, and fitted volume/tone controls) this Mavis represents the very top end of Mule’s lexicon: a resonator that sounds as inspiring as it looks and invites creative exploration across genres and playing techniques.
