Seen in a KEXP recording of the Psychotic Monks (Paris). Is this an ES-175 Thinline?

Pretty sure it's an ES-446.

Could also be an ES-135 with HBs from 1990s.

I quite like some of the more obscure semi-hollows Gibson has done ... ES-446, ES-135, ES-137, ES-235, Midtown. But not the ES-Les Paul.

I don't think so, the body size is different: look at the trapeze tailpiece and how far from the bridge it is.

Plus the picture in the first post really seems to have a belly cut, like the ES-446.

Yes could very well be a ES-446. Looks close to one of the L-5 versions. But I will go with the 446.

Looks right. Thanks!

While I was looking through online images, I stumbled across this Epiphone Sorrento which might be one of the sexiest guitars I've ever laid eyes on.
