The Black Keys what guitar is he playing

Anybody see the Black Keys on Letterman? I was wondering what kind of guitar Pat was playing? By the way those drums sound perfect he really knows how to tune those things.

It's a Harmony, maybe an H-47 that's been modified with a Bigsby and P90's.

with Plant it woulda been "that doesn't squeeze my lemon".

and i was making a Coverdale and Page reference.

they had a single (their highest charting) called "Shake My Tree".

Google is a useful (if worrying) thing.
