According to Tom W. this guitar was converted from a standard Tune -o-matic - Although the guitar may have been a trapeze tail with a stop installed - Music Zoo years back ordered some stop only ES 335's Im thinking back 2014 I was looking at music zoo's web .

Dont forget Hank Garland. He used a 345 and there are a number of 345 protoypes pictured in a recent Reverb Article
