Mule Mavis resonator guitar (2025)

Description

2025 Mule Mavis Resonator Guitar - Ordered From New, Immaculate Condition

A rare opportunity to own a Mule Mavis - one of the most distinctive and versatile resonator guitars ever made. This solid-body resonator represents Mule's inspired exploration of what a resonator can be, and it's genuinely unlike anything else. I ordered this instrument directly from Mule in 2025, and it's been kept in immaculate condition. I'm only selling it to help with some home renovations.

ABOUT THE MULE MAVIS

The Mavis is Mule's unique take on the resonator guitar - a solid-body design that defies simple categorization. As Matt Eich at Mule describes it: "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."

This isn't your traditional resonator. While it has the distinctive resonator cone and that characteristic metallic voice, the solid body construction makes it considerably lighter than steel-bodied resonators and opens up different sonic possibilities. Some players record it acoustically, Doug Wamble plays jazz on it, Adam Miller finds fingerstyle grooves, Tyler Bryant burns it to the ground. It's an instrument that shows you things - versatile, inspiring, and genuinely unique.

The Mavis sits in its own category: resonator tone and response, but with the comfort and weight of a solid body. Whether you're playing it amplified or acoustic, slide or fingerstyle, blues or jazz, it responds beautifully and rewards exploration.
