The Gibson ES-150 DC was very much a full-bodied version of the thinline ES-335TD. Both were made from the same materials, and shared much of the same hardware and ornamentation. They were the same scale, with the same number of frets. The difference is the dimensions, the ES-150DC is 1ź" deeper at 3", compared to 1ž" of the ES-335TD, and the lack of central maple block of the 335
