In this video of Laufey playing in Manila, you can see her playing a Cherry Gibson ES-355. You can tell it's an ES-355, based on the gold hardware, waffle tuners, block fretboard inlays, and diamond headstock inlay.
From the photos of the live performance i can find, it seems to be a vintage model, based on the fact that the binding and inlays are yellowing, and the finish is sinking into the wood. The bridge on this guitar is a TP-6, Gibson's fine-tune bridge. This bridge was apparently first released in 1978, so it seems to be a 1978 at the latest. The tune-o-matic bridge, however, does seem to not match the rest of the gold hardware, so it may have been replaced at some point. The pickguard also seems to be replaced, as it's a 3-ply, rather than the standard pickguard with 5-ply binding. The unusual feature on this guitar is that it seems to have been ordered without a Varitone, which was standard on the model. It does seem that non-Varitone models exist, but weren't common.
