i like jack white, even if he is a tool, i grew up on the white stripes. and thought the first raconteurs album was good.
never heard of billy childish, just have seen pictures of him.

pretty sure billy gibbons had one or a few like this too.

apparently this was a limited edition Gretsch production model.

looks like the production model with a pickguard.

here's a snippet about the billy childish guitar if anyone's curious:

Billy's red leatherette Cadillac guitar is custom made by Fabian Schweiger, from Oostende, Belgium. The January 2004 issue of "Guitar Magazine - UK" features an interview with Billy Childish about his guitars.

i'd listen to billy childish over the raconteurs any day. they're complete and utter bumwash.

i was alluding to the fact that i had no fucking clue who the guy was. call jack white out on being shit, and then post a picture of that fucking guy? not even his name or a youtube clip so i can see what you're on about? but that picture?

I read an interview with Jimmy Page and he said that Jack White didn't realise it was a documentary

The white BillyBo was a limited production run - as in VERY limited. Apparently if you order enough guitars Gretsch will customise them for you - and a guy called Joel from a shop called Shanghai Guitars got twelve guys on the gretschpages.com website to all order one - so Gretsch made and sent 12 white BillyBo's.

I gained respect for JW from that movie. He thoroughly enjoys making noise. I don't need my music to be made by nice guys or attractive people.

I haven't watched the movie yet and Jack may be a tool but he makes some damn good music. Is it becoming more the same ol, same ol though? Ah, maybe. Also It's probably hard not to get an inflated head when shitty RS puts you above greats such as George Harrison on the Top 100 Guitarists ever or the Rolling Stones kiss your ass and have you produce their music. At least the guy got passion and creates instead of making an album every 3 or 4 years like most crappy bands do now a days.

Is this the guitar with a MXR booster built in?

thedudes · Post by **thedudes** » Wed Jan 13, 2010 2:58 pm

Actually the Micro boost is built into all his Gretschs apparently, I like the bronze Gretsch the most.
