I've had two, both early 1960's thin body cutaway's. One had a single neck pickup, one had a pickup in the middle. They were close to Gibson's most entry level student guitar (there was an ES120, one F-hole, pickup on a pickguard, that was cheaper), along with the very similar Melody Maker, and it was mostly the trim level - unbound necks, simple binding, unremarkable woods in the laminated plates and side, single piece mahogany neck. They sold a ton of them based on the student price point. They play and sound like Gibsons, and I loved mine, wish I still had them.
