They are calling it a Cherry Red Gobson ES-345
I've always thought it was the ES-335 because of the Bigby tremolo. Maybe they modified the 345 with an add on...or maybe some just came with it but they were rare enough that I've never seen one 50 years later.
Or maybe thats why they can't find it, because they got the model wrong?

The bigsby and all of that stuff, you can add on any guitars really, but I think what differentiated is the inlay.
I have an ES 345 and I had a luthier to swap the two separate inlays to a long one on the 12th fret (unless that was a thing but never seen one with that inlay in):
But they are clearly looking for the actual guitar, so maybe they had it tagged in the back somehow or something was added to show it was used in the movie. But it could be in someone's attic rotting or sold to someone a while back without knowing their providence, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack at this point.
I still wonder what they are planning for the 40th anniversary that they want the guitar so bad...?
