Rob Cantor used a White Epiphone Wilshire on Tally Hall's 2006 Fearless Music performances.
From the looks of it and its 4 knob configuration similar to a Gibson SG’s configuration of knobs, this is closer to a Crestwood custom with mini humbuckers. However the tremolo has been removed so some modification would be required to get it looking exactly like this

An Esquire is visible behind Rob at 1:31 in this video. It's unknown if this guitar was ever used however it is visible in the background of several Tally Hall videos. It's unknown who actually owned it but it was likely shared by Rob and Joe as several other guitars they used were.

In this YouTube video, Rob Cantor of Tally Hall can be seen using the Gibson ES-335 at 1:35. The video is very compressed, however there are details that show that it is the ES-335. The shape of the headstock matches the ES-335, and the tuning knobs also match. This was during the rerecording of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum for the 2008 release.
Joe Hawley of Tally Hall can also be seen using the ES-335 in "NYC I: RE-MMMM" at 1:39, which reveal more details that show that it is the ES-335. The tan "outline" on the sides of the body are shared with ES-335. The pickups, while hard to see, do match the ES---and the bridge is in the correct location.
The ultimate deciding factor was an image posted to Stratosphere Sound's Facebook. The videos were recorded at Stratosphere Sound, and since neither Joe or Rob used the guitar in a live performance, it is safe to guess the guitar is owned by the studio. This image features an ES-335 on the right side of the picture, behind a Telecaster.
