The one on the left is a 1960 ES-140. On the right is a 1958 Les Paul Jr 3/4 size. The Les Paul Jr is much more playable FWIW. Very narrow neck on the ES-140.

22.75" scale. That's all I need to know. Too small. Looks cool, tho.

I think it's a ES-140T (thin). There was a thick model too, but as thick was considered normal at the time, there was no letter at the end.

When you press the accelerator past halfway it doesn’t actually go any faster, but the engine noise distorts

Those 3/4 necks make the guitars look a bit toyish. Nice finishes though.
