Solid body Gretsch with: * G-Cutout Tailpiece (not a G6121) * Leather + Furniture Tack binding (Roundup) * Steerhead headstock inlay (pre-1956) * Dynasonic pickups * Single toggle switch + tone knob * Block inlays

This is most definetly a G6130 Roundup. His right hand obscures what is probably a belt-buckle fused onto the G-Cutout tailpiece, a "G" branded into the lower bout, and a Melita bridge. No way to tell if it's a pine or maple top.
