Mule

As it applies to making a living making stuff: I, at one time, was someone who didn't make anything who transitioned into making things full time to make a living. It was, well, hard. But being on both sides of that coin has...

"The Fighter" is one of my favorite movies. Great acting by everyone involved. One of the best scenes is the one where Mark Wahlberg and Amy Adams sit down with his family to tell them he's going to train in Las Vegas with a...

Why a Mule Tomthumbucker for a pickup? Why not a piezo/magic ribbon/unicorn horn? A magnetic pickup will get you the most volume before feedback, important when the context is a cavernous steel chamber of awesome. It’s also...

Jason Momoa’s movie Aquaman comes out today. He’s a good man. A big one too. He got himself a pink Mulecaster and in return he killed me on camera for his Netflix show Frontier. Best story so far. Matt...

I'm going to start a series of posts of maintaining a work life balance directed at fellow maker/owners.  A lot of been written about work/life balance which is basically 'work less and do not work things more'.  There's some...

My customers get some pretty snazzy build pictures as their guitar is being built. Here are some from this week. -Matt ...

Will is our new employee, and he's already got the best hair in the shop. "I'm from a mile-long beach town on the Delaware Bay, where you had to drive a half hour to get milk or bread. I started working at Musikraft four and...

We don’t make 14 fret guitars but we do make cutaways with what has become known as the L-hole. Looks more like a backwards J but that’s longer......

A songwriter who has been a big part of the Mule story going back to before I had ever even seen a resonator guitar is Jeffrey Foucault. If you havn't heard his stuff you're in for a poetic grit you havn't experienced.  He's...
