Sorry for the zombie bump but there were some unanswered questions in this thread. Many of the Rev's guitars are actually custom builds from Bolin. Bolin is a guitar maker who has made many guitars for Billy F. Gibbons.
Gretsch did make a white model and black model Billy Bo that were sold in limited editions. The one with the white painted fretboard was not one of them. That's something custom. I've seen Gibbons with several of these, an all pink one, a green one with HotRod paintjob, a black model, a Stock looking one, etc. He really seems to favor them in the last couple of years since Bo died.
