No particular reason other than I'm just curious, but I know there are some people into guitars here.

Looks like an early 70's ES-335 to me.

335's were double cutaways.

That looks like an es-175 to me

It's an ES-175T (T is for Thinline; they're thinner than the D series. I want one in the worst way.

Don't the 175's have the switch on the upper shoulder though?

In reply to mtn:

Only one pickup = no switch.

Thanks, I figured this would be the place to ask :). I have seen her play it before, it sounds quite nice too.

Duh.

I guess I was seeing the reflection of the bridge/saddle on the finish and thinking it was.

Ah well, back into my comfortable world of acoustics.

So I asked her what it was, and she said it's a 1966 es-125 CE.

That's cool that she told you. I once asked Rob Caggiano (he was in Anthrax at the time) about his guitar pick preference via a tweet. He tweeted back a picture of his picks.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool, she posted a pic on Instagram of her playing it so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. She seems like a pretty nice person, I actually had no idea who she was until I saw her opening for a show I went to last month and her set ended up being the best part of the night. I really like the sound of her guitar too, its probably one of my favourites that I have heard. This one sounds really nice too, which I believe is one of these

Of course now I can't find the tweet. Pretty sure they were either Tortex or Gators from Jim Dunlop.
