Hi David,

Good to see you the other day, we've had a good look over the 335 now so 
here's a list of what we've found:

It is a 1964 going on the serial number and the date on one of the pots 
we had a look at.
The neck pickup looks original but the mounting surround screws are 
replacements and bridge pickup and screws has been replaced at some 
point with another Gibson 335 pickup from the 1970's, also the bridge 
pickup tone pot marker is missing.
It's had a re-fret at some point too and G string machine Head is bent 
but still works.
We've done a bit more research on line and found a couple of other 1964 
335's which do look pretty much all original at about £18000, so based 
on all that we've had to lower our expectations of value and think it 
should now be advertised at somewhere around £14000 mark.

Let us know what you think.

Best wishes
Tim.
