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.

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.

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?
