"I started making a Mulecasters because I wanted to learn how to weld. I didn't plan on selling them. I made a blue one for Doug Wamble and he played it at the Woodstock Guitar Show. Electric guitar at the Woodstock show. He picked it up and I could smell the torches start burning...
People came up to me after to ask me what the heck was going on with that guitar. Everyone has heard every S style guitar it was clear to people something was different.
It's steel. They didn't believe me until I knocked on the body. It's that resonance in the hollow steel chamber that makes the notes pop. It gives everything a hollow 3D resonance thats hard to explain but easy to hear in the mix.
I was still unsure if it was a thing. I'm stubborn. Then Ariel Posen got one and put 17-64 strings on the same exact guitar and tuned it to B standard. I heard him on stage. It blew my mind. It's depth. It's inflection. Every right hand nuance jumps out because it takes so little effort to get the guitar going. It's like being used to an old Buick and then feeling the gas pedal on a sports car. " ~ Matt Eich, Mule Resophonic Guitars
