John Butler's Guitars
The guitar John Butler uses in this video, is an old Maton CW80/12. I believe it was given to him by his father, by the looks of the guitar, it has had some rough years :)
John Butler uses the Maton Cutaway EM425C 12-String guitar, as discussed in the "John's new guitar?" thread on the John Butler Trio community forum.
He praises this guitar in Music Radar interview.
“What’s really special about these kind of guitars - whether they be Harmony, Silvertone or Kay - is they run this DeArmond Gold Foil pickup.
“It’s extremely hot and rude. It’s prone to feedback, but there’s something very special about them; they’re very trashy and fat. They’ll give you anything from country to a Black Sabbath kind of sound.”
In this interview for Music Radar, Butler discusses his Telecaster.
“It’s actually a new one. I use it for Blame It On Me from the new album, and it’s one of the best Teles I’ve ever heard.”
In his interview for Music Radar, Butler said :
“A square-neck lapsteel; this one has a mic pickup, and a magnetic pickup. This goes in everything from G tunings to D tunings to low tunings.”
In this live performance of Take Me at 1:08 John can be seen playing a Silvertone Jupiter
