1971 serial number and originality


Zohar

Recommended Posts

I am still looking for my first 335.

I was offered to buy a 1971 guitar, the guy who wants to sell it said the s.n. is 250592. Looking online in the various sites that decode Gibson s.n, this number is unrecognized.

What do you guys think? Does it mean that the guitar is un-original?

Also? What should I look at when I will test this guitar?

The guy said the guitar had a refret done and he wants 4280$ for it.

 

Thanks, Zohar

That serial number should be between 1973 and 1975. That same serial number could have been from 1965, but the guitar would have a different label and different physical characteristics.

The prices strikes me as fairly high for an ES 335 from this period, but I am not up to date on 1970s ES 335 prices.
