I got this email from Teresa Dopyera, the grand daughter of one of the inventors of the resonator guitar, three years ago on Christmas Eve. I saw the last name on the contact form and I honestly gasped. The timing was...

Customer pick up days are the best days. When they receive their last progress pictures I thank them for “being part of the story”. The pictures show them their chapter and keep the conversation going. The quality of your...

1000 connections, 1000 hands locked in grateful cooperative labor. We've now made 1000 resonators, 400 Mavis, and 400 mulecasters. How many songs is that? How many stories and connections is that? In 2009 I had almost...

Why the 'Pegamule'? My friend Jack came up with the idea for the inside label for our guitars. A very pleasant mule and maple leaves turned into an anti-Apple Pegasus-mule in space standing on top of the earth. So this...

Hey New Orleans! I’m headed your way. I’ll have resonators you can check out at the craft tent this weekend at JazzFest if you’re into that sort of party. Let’s be friends. Also I’m pulling a Homer Simpson and will not leave...

Same highs you climb, same lows you go. Picture this:
You’ve been told that the cold you were fighting was sarcoma and you would die in a month.
You’re struggling to breathe.
You’ve had a round of chemotherapy....

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world...

We want to start feeling connected with your instrument as soon as it begins, so we send you progress pictures every major step of the way.

“Slide set up” doesn’t “let” you play slide, only a set up where that’s all you can do.  Historically “Slide guitar” action sits outside the normal range at 4/32”. Why? The innovators of slide of guitar back in the early...

Stuck in a revolving door of gear? Go on Reverb  - buy guitar, play the same ol stuff, sell guitar repeat? I was trapped. I was searching for rut busting new gear and instead of getting inspired I spent (and lost) a lot...

This story is unbelievable enough to be true.

I started music when I was six. The violin. I played in a college orchestra in grade school but after a disastrous chair audition I quit.

I picked up the guitar...

https://youtu.be/1II4aOJlHYA Hearing live music with other people is my favorite thing. The Mule Bus exists for this purpose. It’s a sprinter van full of resonator guitars, food, and beer that we use to tailgate at shows...

Just a reminder to y'all - if you are an original owner of a Mule and the guitar needs repair or a part or something, I got you. Send me an email and we will work something out. If you've bought a Mule used and it needs...

Hey All! After getting a few emails from people saying they had tried contacting me via the contact form on the website I had our faithful web-people check it out. Looks like the form had been not forwarding a ton of...

“We’re friends because Kelly Joe told me about your guitars.” I’m in Jeffrey Foucault’s kitchen. It’s beautiful and authentically classic, like the uncurated quaintness of his adopted city, Shelburne Falls. I’m drinking beer...

https://youtu.be/s6zsUKVAmSg “You need to get on TikTok.” That might be true and I’m old, out of touch and a bit pretentious. “No one watches longer videos.” Also probably true and I’m just too wordy and too...
