In this Instagram post, Jack White discusses and shows several photos of his "Ugly Stick", a custom creation by Chris Ellis. He says:

This over the top custom built axe is the invention of Mr. Chip Ellis who has built my Triplecasters and EVH's over the years. Chip has been working on this for 30 plus years on and off; It's called the "Ugly Stick" and is half bass, half guitar.

I have it tuned to open E on the low and open A on the high strings. But you could do what you want with it. The bass strings are recessed lower than the guitar strings so you can play them all at the same height/same time. I used a prototype of this axe on 2 songs on the NO NAME album (Number one with a bullet and Terminal arch enemy endling) and haven't been able to really perform them live yet, but now I can. Thank you so much Chip, this thing is out of this world I'm either wishing I had this back in the White Stripes or I am glad I didn't!!!"
