I love this so much. Happy bday and congrats on the success! Enjoy the mule dude, such a lovely instrument.

Great video Kyle! Thanks for getting it swapped over! I think Charlie was one of the last flat fingerboards. We've used fingerboards with a 20" radius for 700 guitars or so. Which is still pretty flat!

Ah thanks bud. Easy swap! Thanks for thinking of those little feet btw! It really takes the stress outta poking holes in the cones while you’re doing the setup. Good to know about the radius update! Tbh I would have NEVER noticed it was a flatboard until having to make a saddle for it. Probably cause of your handshaped neck, this things just a cozy littler player!

Great vid, yea, excited for innovations in the reso world!

Thanks dude! Yeah it’s a really great time right now!

Very interesting video the Billet T and Ebony saddle sound loudest unless you were playing harder , all three saddles sound good to me ...Not that what I like matters, Charlie Was happy thats what matters but I think I like the ebony the best not because it sounds louder but I like the bass sound , it has more punch You can tell better than me through this lap top Thanks for the fun video

Right! It definitely is louder, but could be a bunch of variables as far as mic placement and how hard I played, but I do think it is generally louder too. Thanks for checking it out!

Is this Dan “the man”?! Dude you made such a beautiful thing. I hope you’ve been getting the praise you deserve because you change the game of resonator guitars and now there’s going back.

Yup. That’s me. Thanks man. “Quality Gear” is something I strive to apply to all aspects of my life.

A noticable difference in the sound, and a bit of work for you thanks

Totally. It’s nice when the work pays off 😅.

The cast aluminum has air bubbles in it. The billet is actually solid.

Absolutely do! Lmk if the vid leaves you hanging on the install, I could make another one that better shows the whole process a little slower.

It’s a stainless steel Mule!

Has anyone tried carbon fibre saddles?

@kostringworks

That’s a good question. I worked in a guitar once that was one piece of C fiber, so the bridge and saddle were molded as one. That’s the only one I’ve seen.

Billet aluminum saddle? Would that be too harsh ? Brass?
