tomh8 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Serial number dates to 67 or 65 according to the Guitar dater website. I think these are nickel parts though and the nut width is 1 and 11/16”. So I’m thinking it could be 65 or earlier? Also is this bigsby factory?

deeman Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 It would have originally had strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The number is 307419? Thats between 65-67. The covers changed to chrome in 65. I dont know about the Bigsby looks original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I'll post a photo of my '67 ES-335. The Bigsby is factory & looks similar. Note the Witch Hat knobs that were used in 1967. The nickel parts & reflector knobs point to 1965. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eracer_Team Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The upload feature for picture is very tiny You have to use a picture host site like incur.com Again with the pictures being too large ?

Golden Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Right the 63 came with nickle, with the covers and serial I would think early 65. That number is at the start of the 65-67 numbering. The pots and so forth would tell the rest of the story. Right the bigsby looks good especially where the impression is from removal..looks all original, unless theres a marking or trace of a trap change etc, no reason to think otherwise.
