No idea, but it's awesome and so is Billy Childish.
If I had to take a guess, I'd say it's probably these guys:

Ooh, that one is nice.
They do look cheaply made. Can't tell if that's a good or bad thing though.

Yeah, hard to say. In my mind that one that I posted is constructed like the old Stratotones / Jupiters / Value Leaders - which is to say that it is constructed AWESOMELY of chipboard and plywood. Mostly though, I just want SOMETHING with a Charlie Christian pickup. Heh.

Yeah, can't argue with that.
I don't like the looks of that mini-humbucker though.

Unfortunately I have no idea who made this guitar for Billy Childish. I certainly haven’t seen one before, so maybe it’s a one off, who knows? I would describe it as Bo Diddley meets Chuck Berry in the Höfner workshop. Sounds like a good description for Billy Childish’s music. The reason I don’t consider it a D.I.Y. project is that I can’t picture him building guitars instead of carving expressionistic woodcuts or recording punk-rock-rave-ups.

You just want that because it's purple.
Not a bad reason to want something, but still ...
