I believe it's a Teisco Spectrum V similar to this one:

I was thinking Teisco, too, but I couldn't believe it! I kept trying to pause to get a clear look, but the clips go by so fast it's not easy to see. I know it's not a Teisco Tulip, but it does have that distinctive upper horn shape that is similar, and I have some Teiscos with all the switches, etc. I just couldn't believe it might actually be one.

I saw an interview that said he started on a $70, 4 pick up Teisco when he was a kid. I suppose the video is an homage to where he started. So cool! Thanks!

If memory serves correctly, I think I remember reading that Eddie recorded the actual track with a Strat plugged straight into the board. I imagine that the Teisco is in the video just for the cool/retro factor, and as you mentioned for the sake of Eddie's nostalgia.

I also read that somewhere, as well. The recording was a strat into the board.
