What FRANCOIS uses..
François plays a
Sho-Bud Pro1 12 String E9/B6 (3+4) and a Carter S-12
Pro E9/B6 7+5 String Pedal Steel guitars. The Sho-Bud has been
restored
by François using John Coop parts.
The Carter is a stock model. The Sho-Bud has a more mellow tone,
although brightened up surprisingly by the renovations, and the
Carter
has really pretty bell-like tones.
Having tried a variety of string makes, including George L's and
Cobra
Coil, he's settled on SIT strings, which just seem to break much
less
often. He has yet to try the much-vaunted Jagwire brand.
He uses a Peavey Nashville 112 amp with a Line6 Pod XT for
effects. He
is also experimenting with an all-valve "Diablo" amp.
For acoustic guitar, François plays an old(-ish) Epiphone jumbo
with
Martin strings and for recording he usually uses a Martin OM18V.
