Ruben is using an old Pelham Blue SG with a rail humbucker in bridge and with vibrola uninstalled, it first appears on 0:47 in this video.

Also in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN7AFyfJLTQ&t=70s) where he talks about it; it has a Danny Gatton pickup

Ruben Block, the guitarist for Triggerfinger, uses a Gretsch G6118T Anniversary guitar, featuring a TV Jones Supertron in the bridge and a Hi Lo Tron in the neck position. He owns two of these guitars in different colors: one red and one white. This usage is visually documented in a user-uploaded photo on Rootstime.

In this interview on JudgeFredd's website, Ruben Block of Trigger Finger says that the two guitars that he owns that he will probably bring on a desert island are his Red anniversary Gretsch and his Gibson 1952 ES-295 -"Aaaah celle-là... donc oui pour résumer la Gretsch rouge et l’ES295 sont mes deux guitares favorites, celles que j’emporterais si je devais finir mes jours sur une île déserte".

In this pic you can spot the Electromatic G5128

You can spot a P90 in the bridge; my best guess is that this was added later

Find it on:

On this pic you can spot Ruben with a vintage ('55) Gretsch Electromatic Corvette 6184

I first thought he was playing a (new) Electromatic line but soon saw the 'no-cut' shape of his guitar and knew I was wrong!

This guitar was presumably modded with a P90 in the bridge position and a selector switch was added

In this vid you can spot Ruben playing a ES model (@0.35)

After some research (double parallelogram, P90's) I think the most common model to fit these specs is the Gibson ES350

The Bigsby was added later

(NB: @4.25 you can see a close-up of the guitar. In this close-up you can see three holes in the body: this guitar had a CC pickup in it before!! Maybe a Gibson L7?? but the L7 had a different headstock)
