    The original 135 came with one. It was a 125 with neck binding, les Paul inlays, and a 5 ply pickguard.

    I believe the Gibson ES-175 should be "until 57"?

    Counting reissues, we have the 2015 '54 ES-175D reissue:

    Added, thanks!

    I also added a couple more Guilds and the D'A Deluxe 59.



    I was thinking that it's surprising there are no Grecos, Arias, Tokais, Venturas or any other wonderful Japanese guitar from the "lawsuit" era on the list. Were there any hollowbodies with P-90?

    Matsumoku didn't like the ES-330 or the Casino?

    Godin used to make a variation of the Montreal Premiere with P90s, but it looks like they no longer do.

    Just a note, L-5's and Super 400's had P-90s for about 3 yrs, '51-'54

    Then about 3 yrs w Alnico V staple pu's to late '57 when paf humbuckers were introduced.

    Gibson ES 135 (different guitar from the original model) from 1992 until they changed to humbuckers. Yes - they were in fact P100s (stacked coil humbucker) but easily changed to P 90s. Not sure if a routed hollow mahogany body would qualify but if so: Epiphone WildKat.
