What the hell is Chris Stein

It is a National, I thought it was an Airline at first also.

What do you figure the extra pots do? I'm guessing a volume and tone for each pickup, but then that still leaves two mystery pots.

You are close, you just counted the pickups incorrectly. Three volumes, three tones, and a master volume. The bridge has a pickup built into it.

Wtf is this? One pickup or two?

Technically, it's one...

Everything from the neck pickup has been removed except the stacked bobbins and spacer, which are only there to hold the cover in place.

Normally I'd have left it out completely, but it would have looked very ugly compared to this.
 
Thank you, but that still doesn't tell us anything about the guitar.

You asked what Chris Stein was playing, so all the answers in this thread would be the incorrect answer.

Chris Stien is playing a 1960's Hagstrom Goya Deluxe 90. There aren't many knobs on that, but you can see what most of the switches do here if you zoom in:
