Gibson ES, shaped like a 335, thickness of a 175?

[blille]

I blanked on this and Google is not being helpful so I figured one of you could help me

What is the name of the Gibson ES model that is shaped like a 335 (double Venetian cutaway) but has about the thickness of a 175?

Think of it as trivia, the first one to answer correctly gets not only the satisfaction of showing off remarkable knowledge and better memory than me but also my enthusiastic thanks.

Not the Charlie Christian ES-150 but the late 60/70s ES-150DC

The ES 340 was a thinline just like the 335, only with a maple neck and a different wiring layout.

I forgot about the ES150DC ! Nice guitar and it sounds pretty good in the hands of the guitarist Jesse van Ruller.

That's the one I was thinking of! Thank you Herbie!!

And thanks everybody for your answers. There is an L5 double cut but I was trying to remember the ES150DC.

The 350 double cutaway was a real feedback machine, very difficult to control, unfortunately. It was built on the light side, like an L7, but my L7s never gave me the problems on gigs the 350 did. It played great, but...

You are right. I did not know this – although even Wikipedia can tell:

"(...) A double cutaway version of the L-5 has recently been introduced to the market. The body depth has been reduced to 2 3/8". The upper cutaway is purely cosmetic, since the neck base or heel prevents higher access to the frets."

Amazing price for a original looking guitar:

Gibson doesn't make the 150 DC any more, but Heritage guitars might build you one. I have this one, a custom build with a 25 1/2 scale length.
.
Great guitar that I am considering selling. Had a few inquires lately. I think Heritage would build you one.

a local shop had (has?) one. it isn't the abomination you'd expect it to be in person. i was pleasantly surprised.
