Martin Gore’s guitar tech Jez Webb: “Here is Martin's setup. 12 guitars we've got out at the moment but I'm sure there's many more lying at home in California. This guitar has been with us for nearly 20 years now. It was made by a gentleman, Dick Knight, in England and it's a copy of the Gretsch Double Anniversary. Martin has one of those but we got Dick to make this for us to take out on tour. ”
This is from the TC Electronic video “Gear Run: Martin Gore of Depeche Mode”, uploaded March 2010, 2:18 into the video. The upload date indicates this was Depeche Mode’s Tour of the Universe.
