Gibson ES-150 DC

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 1¼" deeper at 3", compared to 1¾" of the ES-335TD, and the lack of central maple block of the 335

The following description is taken from the 1970 Gibson electric acoustics catalogue

ES-150 DC - Double Cutaway This popularly priced addition to the Gibson line is a real show stopper. The hollow body archtop guitar features an exclusive double Venetian cutaway design that contributes to easy playability.
