In the live performance of "Eat That Up, It's Good For You" by Two Door Cinema Club in New York on September 15, 2011, Sam Halliday can be seen playing a 1976 Gibson ES-335. Although it's noted that Alex Trimble is also using an ES-330 with a Bigsby, this suggests Sam either owns this ES-335 or has access to it through Alex.
