No, that's BB King's axe.

Don't know what Bo called his, but it's got to be the most simplistic guitar shape ever.

"Lucille!"

Isn't Lucille associtated with BB King? I'm pretty sure it's the name of his guitar.

RIP BO DIDDLEY! Huge influence. Born in 1928. A rock and roll legend! Helped bring blues/boogie to the world! Love you Bo!

Nope. “Who Do You Love?” was his big song influencing rock and rollers like Quicksilver Messenger Service and others.
