Hozier

Hozier used the Fender FR-48 Steel Resonator on early versions of It Will Come Back. He is playing it on that song in this live video from April 2013, which was recorded several months before his Take Me To Church EP was initially released on Bandcamp. By the time the song was recorded for his album, Hozier had already retired the FR-48 in favour of his Danelectro Resonator. He has not played the FR48 live since 2013.

Hozier has only played this red Eastwood Airline Folkstar once on his live tour (as of November 11, 2015). That was in Kansas City, MO at the Starlight Theater during the song "In A Week."

This was the guitar chain and it gave a really interesting tone that suited Andrew’s music." - Rob Kirwan about "Take Me To Church" recording process.
