I'm trying to work out if there was ever a ES 295 'style' guitar, (layout - not interested in colours etc) that had a stop tail bridge rather than the trapieze bridge - doesn't have to have P90's, humbuckers etc, but that' style' of guitar with the stop tail ?
I'm %80 sure it didn't exist, and hasn't been updated in any of the re-issues.

Any of the historians have any idea ?

    If you mean a sharp-cutaway single-cut hollowbody, an ES-135 maybe...?

    It would have to be a semi-hollow not fully hollow for it to have a stop tailpiece.

    Yes - I had an ES-137 Custom with the Florentine cutaway with a stop tail. It had a centre block, of course.
