The live video of Clutch performing Electric Worry shows Neil Fallon playing a Gibson Les Paul Special. The guitar was also documented in the [2017 MusicRadar rig rundown]:
This has a wider neck than the 335 does, which makes it easier for fingerpicking on songs like Regulator, Gravel Road, Electric Worry… I can get my gorilla fingers in between the strings. The wider the neck, the better it is for slide and fingers. You have more real estate, they’re a little more delicate for the right hand. It has stock P-90s and a Dungeons & Dragons modification, which doesn’t actually do anything, [the 20-sided die tone knob] I got it drilled in there for shits and giggles.”
According to [2022 guitarguitar interview], Fallon mentions Les Paul Specials as his guitars of choice for the slide parts:
The Les Paul Specials, I reserve for the slide guitar parts, just because it’s got a wider neck and I can fit my gorilla fingers in between the strings. So those are my favourite, and I have been playing a Fender of Skeletons on Mars, just because the effects pedals kinda require single coils.

In a Yahoo video search result, Neil Fallon discusses his recent interest in semi-hollowbody guitars, specifically highlighting the D'Angelico EX-175 Deluxe.

Gibson was kind enough to provide guitars, though sadly I have to give them back. I started playing these because Les Pauls, even if I don’t play much during a set, tend to mess with my neck. After a while, I feel like I’m getting corkscrewed! The 335s don’t make a huge difference, but I like how the fretboards fly like an SG.
Mentioned as his favourite guitar in the 2022 guitarguitar interview:
Yeah. In the UK, we keep a lot of gear in Manchester, so we use the same guitars every time we roll through town. My favourite guitar that I’ve ever owned is a Gibson 335. That’s my favourite
