I think he uses acoustic guitars with some sort of pickup device inserted into the sound hole. Not certain because I'm not a guitar tech. :)
It certainly seems that way from seeing them live (stood about 2 rows from the front no less!) and the close up footage from BBC Glasto this year:) Doesn't appear to be a strict elec-acoustic with no sound hole.
Judee Sill is perfect for FF to cover. Her lyrics of mystic roses, mystic visions, astral planes somehow compliments the story of a dead boy in a river very well.
I love this. Sooo pretty.

Not bad, but listen to the Judee Sill original to hear the real shit.
Unfortunately, there's nothing on the web left except inferior live versions, so you've got to buy the CDs. "Abbracadabra" has everything.

i love this version as i like his voice much more than Sills.

I think the way he goes off on a tangent, totally departing from the song. I think Judee would have approved. I wonder if Nobunka will like this one.
