In this Depeche Mode performance live at the Austin City Limits Festival in October 2013, Martin L. Gore can be seen playing a Gretsch G3156 Streamliner Electric Guitar (he plays it on "Precious" and it can be seen around the 3:10 mark). Gore's Streamliner has a red finish, and distinctive "cat's eye" holes rather than f-holes. It also appears to not have a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece installed.
