I am downloading his movie with Jimmy Page and The Edge as I type this. Don't know much about him so it should be interesting.

he comes across as a douche in the movie, but he makes good music

Some of his Gretsch guitars are not actually Gretsch guitars, but custom copies. I think that is the case with the guitar in question here.

Some appear to just be stock models which are heavily modified, such as the double-cutaway with the retractable microphone that is shown in It Might Get Loud, which is used with The Raconteurs.

Tool or not, his guitar playing shows a level of passion that's hard to find, these days.
He also has impeccable taste in gear.

the billy bo is a Billy Gibbons/Bo Diddley model. why is this a mystery?

the signature is red/black w/ white binding and chrome hardware, where as this one is done up like a white falcon

yea, and uh, the white stripes are excellent. well the first few albums are excellent and the last few haven't destroyed my my faith in him yet. also, the first raconteurs album is pretty good.

Bo says you can't judge a book by it's cover.

I digs 'em both. The tool and the dickstick in the picture with the plaid pants and the 'stache.

Anybody know what kind of copy Childish is playing in that photo?
