Jim Martin has always been known to play his customized 1970s model of Gibson Flying V. But I just came across this video of a rare side project he was part of called Spastik Children, where he plays a totally different guitar! I have no clue what kind it is, can anyone shed light on this?

the guitar can be seen clearly at 2:40 and 3:45
I'm still trying to figure out exactly which instrument you mean - there are a couple of guitars semi-clearly visible at both time stamps. Could you be a little more specific, for those of us who don't know who the guitarist is on sight? :)
looks like a danelectro
The black/white or gray/white (or whatever color it is, that video looks like a 15th-generation VHS copy LOL) guitar with the small headstock is definitely a Danelectro. Looking directly at those timestamps on my end, I see a somewhat unidentifiable white something-or-other at 2:40, and what looks like a P-bass at 3:45. The Dan shows up just prior to those times, hence my current confusion. :D
you can sort of make out his "trademark" red shades at the end before the video switches to something else.
If you mean this one:
Then it's a Danelectro. Someone with a little more experience with those might be able to tell you which particular model it is.
Reading up a little on this group of guys, it seems that their shtick was to swap equipment around, so he might be playing someone else's axe. I haven't been able to find anything that references Jim Martin playing a Dan anywhere.
well, this was before he got big and (i'd assume) got a deal with gibson.
