I'm going to venture out and say it's a Combo 800 with HS pickup. Dunno how he managed to score it, but as Wes said in a YT comment on that video (or another featuring them, I dunno), it (and a Jetglo 6-string brother) isn't his.

They're both one-off guitars made by Dale Fortune. As most of you know, Rickenbacker hasn't used this combo design in 50 years.
Other companies like Fano have produced their take on it. Dale made two of these guitars for educational purposes.

It's a great read. Pretty much everything on that guitar was hand-made, except the tuners and frets.
