I must saw I love all the detail that went into this guitar. They are even going to make a limited production run of it.

It's obviously got a replacement tailpiece. On the Gibson tailpieces of that type, the innermost points of the wavy design almost touch the centre bar. It's probably a WD replacement, like I've got ready to fit on my ES-3. The original tailpiece was more workmanlike. It's also had its scratchplate removed (maybe just for the photo as you can still see the side-support is still attached to the body).
My guess is that it's been refinished at some point, as the normal finish was a yellow/red/brown sunburst. The highly figured tops generally seem to have come a bit later - '49-'50 and the majority of 1947 guitars generally had a much more subdued maple ply construction. However there is nothing to stop this being a one-off or even a custom order.
Wasn't obvious to me at all.😃😂

I could only tell because I've got a reproduction tailpiece, but once you know, it is one easy way to tell a real one from a copy. Also if you Google for ES330, then you'll get lots of pics of them with the original tailpiece, a hollow trapezoid shape that looks like it may be aluminium.
Here's a very nice Tele scratchie built by a friend in the US
Sounds pretty good too here's a couple of his originals, the 2nd one is very different I threw Woody a couple of lines about The Black Dog and Black Dawg Barkin is the result ( it's a bit political )
