Now if somebody could tell what is the guitar we see on the left and which clothes has the wearer...

I don't know if it's been the same guitar, but he's pictured over the years with several versions of it.
Here's a 2019 shot of him on stage with what looks like his L4 but with oddly low pots in the top and what appears to be an intact guard.
Here's a 2018 shot from his Facebook page of what may be the same guitar next to an Eastman. The L4 has the same controls set into the top in an unusually low position, with filled holes in the guard:
Here's a 2011 shot of him with both volume and tone controls on the guard:
Here's a video of him with the same or a similar guitar with the lower knob missing from the shaft (only visible in a few views later in the video).
He obviously favored the L4 / 175 size and character, because he's pictured over the years with at least a few of each (in addition to other guitars).
