Does anyone know what type of guitar and amp Jack White from the White Stripes uses?

Jack is a great believer in retro and minimalism, and that extends to his musical equipment of choice. Accordingly, Jack plays an Airline guitar, and uses a Sears Silvertone 100 watt amp, although he previously used a Fender Twin Reverb. amp. Jack is a believer in using guitars that have soul, and that means they've been played for a while. Fans keen to emulate Jack's sound will find it hard to track down an Airline, and may have to scour a few pawn shops first. Although Jack appreciates the virtues of new euipment - reliability and so on, he believes that a guitar absorbs the soul of the music played on it - a character trait he shares with the veteran bluesmen who have influenced his wonderful songs.
