This depends on whether you mean the rhythm guitar Johnny plays, or the lead parts played by Luther Perkins. I'm not sure what was played on the original recordings, but a Gretsch or Telecaster tend to be the popular guitar of choice for that Rockabilly twang. Though Gibson & Guild are sometimes used also, personally I'd go with Gretsch for Rockabilly, unfortunately they are rather expensive :(
