Is it a Gibson Elegant?

[rnk]

Hi all.

 

Some time ago I bouth an used Gibson Elegant guitar (with Gibson Custom case).

 

But I never see the Elegant with black pickup frames, black pickguars instead of transparent, black volume and tone knobs...

 

At the other hand, it har all other: "Custom shop" incrustation on the head, abalone markers, ebony fingerboard.

 

Serial number is 7 9xxx, which means it made on 1997.

 

Can somebody help me for my confidence - is it genuine Elegant guitar?

Quality is very bad (phone camera), but it seems like all that need.

seems from the photos that you have the ebony fingerboard but not the abalone inlays! could be the photos just washed them out but they should be very colorful and darker than what I see.
