YOU DECIDE.  ...

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 not sure if there are any more life events that haven't been marked by a Mule. They've been present at births and played for newborns (Christopher porterfield and James those videos are my faves) engagement presents...

Thoughts are just thoughts. But we mostly hold onto whatever pops in our brains about something as a summation of our vast and valid knowledge and experience *cough -entitlement- cough*. “I think that..” “I feel like...” and...

The main reason we like vintage gear is the story connected to it. A ‘54 strat was there at the beginning. The marks are proof of where it’s been since. Getting an instrument from a maker is another way of becoming part of...

Resonators on fire. 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...

Brass is just a shade darker sounding than steel. More fundamental. Think dark roast coffee- bold and full. Steel is medium roast- a bit more nuanced. The difference is not huge- our steel doesn’t sound like what you’re used...

Shots fired. Steel Mulecasters in the available colors. I’ve heard these in various live settings and the visceral quality that the hollow steel body imparts is part archtops and part animal. -Matt...

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...
