Early ‘70’s ES335 specifications

Hi all. Wondering where I might find the specifications for early ‘70’s 335’s. I have a ‘74 and it needs some work. I’m interested in a comprehensive rundown of the details including nut width and material, bridge width, bridge post size and thread, pickup type, pot types, caps used…you get the picture. The guitar is basically sound but has a few hardware issues and I’d like to mod it a little. I’m comfortable doing most of the fix up myself, with the trickier stuff being done by my local guitar tech.

I’m ok to repair and mod this guitar a little re hardware, pickups, pots etc as this era of 335’s aren’t generally considered all that collectible (can anyone say Norlin), so it’s not like I’d be devaluing a vintage instrument, just making a really nice old guitar sound and play a little better.
