Anyone have any info on this tele he is playing?

I think that's a Trussart Tele, you know these guits made of steel...

I can't see a neck pickup on there, so chances are it's an Esquire(alike). Could be anything underneath that custom finish. Looks metallic - a custom Trussart perhaps? Gibbons is listed on their website as using them.

This link says it's rubber coated so he could stick knives in to it.

The Billy Gibbons book is a real nice item - if a bit weird (just like Billy)
Love some of the guitars!
