Jim,
If you had said those songs were done with a Tele, I would have believed it. Sounds very much like a tele with the treble rolled off a tad. Most importantly, it sounds completely appropriate to the music. Tell your drummer you won't tell him what kit to play it he won't tell you which guitar to play.

I have had a long and civilized talk with the drummer and I believe all is well. Just for a reference to the sound I get when using my Gretsch 6122-59 you can hear it here.

Everybody has a right to an opinion, but some people feel that everybody has a right to their opinion! Back in the early '70's, I was playing with a bass player who thought my Gibson Les Paul didn't sound fat enough (!) and told me that I should be playing a Gretsch (!!) or a Telecaster (!!!) instead. Seems he had played with a guitar player who used a Gretsch Viking that he liked the sound of, and he took me to hear another friend of his who got a nice jazz sound out of a Tele--and of course, I pointed out that the guy had a Gibson humbucking pickup in the neck position on his Tele! Some people hear with their eyes, rather than their ears--and I can get a passable jazz tone out of anything with a neck pickup and a tone control...I've got a video somewhere of me playing a G&L ASAT Z-3 with a jazz big band, and it sounds just fine. As the old song goes, "Don't you let nobody turn you 'round..."
