It's not a Gibson. It's a 1968 Fender Telecaster.
His signature model is made by Valley Arts, a division of Gibson. You will rarely if ever hear that signature model by Valley Arts on his studio work (the signature model wasn't even produced until 2004 and is for other people to buy that want a replica of Brent's guitar but Brent uses the real thing, not the copy of the real thing) - his 68 Fender Tele is nicknamed "The Moneymaker" and it goes with him everywhere.
The first two pictures are of Brent hard at work in the studio on his 1968 Fender Telecaster which he has been using since he bought it in 1983 (25 years)
The third and last are pictures of Brent with his signature model by Valley Arts in the original pewter look and also in one of the many custom finishes - sunburst. He does travel with these signature model guitars on occasion rather than put his 68 through alot of airline travel and the possibility of it getting damaged or stolen but otherwise he prefers to use his original.
