Sean Mackin uses a Zeta Strados electric violin, as told in this interview with Pure Grain Audio:

"PureGrain: What one piece of gear do you use to obtain your signature sound? Sean: Well, I have two sounds. One is a classical violin, and the other is an electric violin. The classical is an acoustic tone through a microphone. Live I use some reverb and an LR Baggs pickup. It sounds so good. boldThe electric is a Zeta Violin and I use it through an amplifier with some wah; it sounds cool."
