I've noticed that the guitarist in The Faders is playing a guitar that looks a lot like a Les Paul Junior with a humbucker - it might be a Gordon Smith SG, but her guitar has a LP Junior style pickguard, perhaps it was custom made for her?

Gordon Smith do use various kinds of pickguards - sometimes it's the LP Junior type, others a more Les Paul/ES-335 shape (albeit stuck to the face rather than floating).
I've only found one picture which shows the guitar properly, and although the headstock still isn't visible, it looks like a piece of John Smith's handiwork to me.

It's very easy to order custom options from Gordon Smith, and unlike the major manufacturers, it doesn't cost a fortune to do so! Great no-nonsense guitars.

It's around £400 as far as I can remember.
