Model question

[DC42]

Hey...have a question for you.

 

Came up on this tight 50's band Johnny Carroll and The Hot Rocks. Had a guitar player named Jay Salam (the band name and player could be incorrect). The question is what brand Gibson is the lead guitarist playing in the photos attached? It appears to be some type of ES (175?) model but the body looks rather small and that is what's throwing me off (unless I need some new glasses). Screenie 1314 appears to show the Gibson logo at the top of the head stock. Again could be incorrect there as well.

That explains it! Sign of things to come?

 

Looks like an ES-140 TDC.

 

Bring this one back Gibson!

Funny that this should come up... the other night a movie with "The Band" was on. Robby Roberts (I think thats his name) was playing a double neck Gibson I've never seen before. I believe the top neck/instrument was a mandolin. The bottom instrument was a really slick little Gibson. Anybody know what model it was?? Maybe a one-of-a-kind custom made jobby?? Thanks for any info.
