Epiphone Sighting: The Republic Tigers

I just watched an old episode of The Late Show with David Letterman, and his musical guest was The Republic Tigers. Their lead guitarist (I think he was lead, anyway) was playing what I believe to be an Epiphone Lucille.

 

It clearly had an Epiphone headstock, and definitely had a Varitone. The headstock was bound. I couldn't tell if it had F-holes, since it was a black guitar, but I don't think it did. It had a Bigsby, also, but that doesn't mean anything.

 

The band itself wasn't really that great. They were a five-piece - drums, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, and a singer/percussionist. I don't know if they thought they were doing a different song (or maybe they were doing a few more that didn't go on TV - I know that happens on occasion), but he had a tambourine and a floor tom next to his mic stand, but never used the drum.
