I snapped a pic of my ES 330 through the one f hole I could get to. Here is what was inside.i couldn’t see any center vertical brace anywhere. Of course, the angle I could get was pretty limited, so it could be in there in a different location. The long pick guard on mine made a bottom f hole shot impossible, and I really could only get a couple of similar angles from the top f hole. In the first pic you can see the bottom of the bridge pickup. The guitar is natural in color, so if there was paint bleed it wouldn't really show up.

No sound post in the Gibby - interesting. I don't think my Elitist Casinos had them either. Supposedly they cut back on feedback but who knows. Mine still howls pretty easily, as most hollowbodies do.

My 330 doesn’t really have a big feedback problem. I can make it feedback if I face my amp and try, but in general it doesn’t. I’ve only played it at a stage volume a few times, and with rock crunch mid gain dirt without issue, but actual pro use could be very different.

Also worth mentioning my 330 is a historic model built to (supposedly) 61 specs, so a modern version might have a center post.
