Thomas Dutronc's Tone on September Song

Stackabones

If anyone has his latest disc, Comme un manouche sans guitare ... do you have any idea of his setup? It's electric guitar ... maybe a Selmac with a Stimmer or something ... I really don't know.

Clean with an overdriven edge when pushed. Gorgeous sound.

Any ideas??? :?:

I have no idea, sorry... but it sure is a nice tone (and interpretation):

Hello!

Maybe the best should be to ask him directly :

He is a nice guy and I guess he will answer you

Best!

Dutronc is playing a Nylon string Dupont Maccaferri there, if I remember well.

Certainly not on this track (see the link I posted above, where you can hear the full track).

Most likely a Selmac/Stimer as you suspect in September Song. Here's a live video of Comme un manouche from TV5/Acoustic. Different tone here though (no Stimer, probably a piezo):

Yes, that definitely sounds like a Stimer. As for the guitar, who knows?, it could also be the REAL Selmer Dutronc owns!
