I hate Les Paul's. They weigh like 9 pounds but look like a ukulele on me. Nothing that small should be that heavy.
-
9? When I was playing Les Pauls they were 11 lb guitars.
And, yes, too small if you are 6' plus.

I'm sorry if I don't get it right, but what the topic owner means is that a 335 is virtually a solid guitar, right? This for having a central block, ok? What about thinline guitars without a central block, such as Casino? I have never touched one, but it seems to me to be more twangy than the 335. Is a thinline Tele more twangy and trebly than a solid one?

I have a fully hollow thinline, an Eastman T145, 1.75" at the rims, and it plays and responds like a full-depth archtop, but less bass acoustically. It's very comfortable to play, and weighs under 5 pounds. I've had no problem with feedback. I think fully hollow thinlines are a very viable solution. I've never been a fan of semis, but if it takes more wood to float your boat, they're readily available.

I would be in the market for a thinline.... well if I had any money which I don’t.

In the 1962 Gibson catalog, as well as some later ones, the description of the ES-355TDSV starts off:
"This magnificent jazz guitar..."

I will reiterate Larry Carlton's influence though. When I went out and got another "jazz" guitar in the 90's, I got one because he was one of my favorite players at that time.
Currently I have 2 thinlines--an ES-135 (balsawood center block) and a Peerless Sunset (fully hollow), both of which are more comfortable for me than the 335 yet still get that smooth jazz tone I've always pursued. Neither feedback to any extent.
