No, not me.. I am talking about the guitar, and its maker the swedish Hagström AB. The "real" swedish manifacturing are long gone, but there are a museum here in sweden with lots of these old instruments. I read somewhere that they have parts for thousands of instruments there.
Mr Gibbons bought two of the instruments a few years ago according to the swedish guitar mag Fuzz.
Here is a link to their website, and do check out the gallery pages.

Yeah, that is a Hagstrom synth pickup. It generates a really wierd "square" sound. That is the model that Mr Gibbons picked up two of. The mother of pearl versions goes for ridiculous sums when they appear on the market.
