Single cut version of ES335?

[Achord]

Has Gibson, or anyone else, ever made a single cut version of the ES335?

Basically a thin semi-hollow body with only a single "mickey-mouse ear" cutaway?

I realize they have the ES137, but that's got the pointier florentine cutaway. There's also the Epiphone Alley/Wild Kats, and they're kinda close, but not quite.

Anyone know?

I don't think anyone did a singlecut 335. Gibson's current ES-195 is a slimline single cutaway, but it has a Florentine cutaway as well. Duesenberg has some singlecut semi-hollows, and I believe Gretsch has some singlecut Country Gentleman models.

Most of the singlecuts typically were bigger body instruments, however, and many are closed top in order to route feedback rather than center blocks.

Ibanez ASF75. Very close in thickness as 335, single cutaway, humbuckers and Bigsby. Nice price, good guitar. Pickups on the darker side. I have one, love it, toured with it.

Collings makes a killer singlecut hollowbody in the SoCo series, particularly the SoCo Deluxe. Mine is incredibly resonant, has more sustain than most solid-bodies, and the low-wind Lollar Imperials are sweet. Definitely try to check one out!

slightly wider hips, but the "59 epi emperor thinline is in the ballpark.

Ahhh, Epiphone Broadway?

Another vote for the Collings SoCo, just a stellar guitar.

There was this version of the Les Paul that was sort of a 1 1/2 cutaway 335 style...http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-les-paul-signature-1972-gold-top

Many of these guitars mentioned are fully hollow.

 

[Dandolin]

Not exactly a mickey-mouse ear, and a little deco-blingy, but definitely SEMI-hollow, and a great sounding/playing guitar (love the pickups--used the Lollars I had planned for it on another guitar):

I did have to swap out the bridge, because I friggin' hate roller bridges. YMMV.

Single cut semi hollow would be an ES137 wouldn't it?
