E-minor7 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Assume you are talking 'bout the brace-pattern ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I think he's talking about the pickguard design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Can you provide more info than your original post ? Did you buy it new in 2014 at a reputable dealer, one that is an 'authorized' Gibson dealer? Does it have matching s/n's ? Imprinted on the back of the headstock and on the label in the sound hole? Did you get a 'Gibson' hardcore with the Certificate of Authenticity and listing of specifications ? When you say 'different', what do you mean? Pickguard, neck inlays. coloring of guitar face? tone wood different? Three screws in the Truss Rod Cover. Yes, a picture or two would help. And, when you say 'different from the others' what are you comparing yours to? Photos of guitars on the internet? One(s) you have seen in person? Here's the DiF from Gibson's site currently. Where is yours different from this one? https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Acoustic-Guitar/ACC46V941/Antique-Natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Out of curiosity - I looked at your other 3 posts on this site. You asked the same question in the Gibson Custom sub-forum 2 1/2 years ago and posted pics. Seemed you got satisfactory answers back then. Photos seem to show a legitimate, authentic Gibson DiF. What has changed to cause you to raise the issue again ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking the resolution being blurry, or is it not showing up? I can see the image, but the file size is so small there is no detail. I tried replacing the old one that looked super saturated and glarey. Is that better? I tried the messenger trick Danville mentioned, but I can’t just “drag”. I’’m on a tablet.

Dave F Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) just my opinion - Unless it's the blurriness of the pictures, it looks fake. The doves should show more details. They look more like turtles. Again, maybe it's the quality of the pictures. Here's some pics of mine showing details. That first fret, 15th and 17th is really telling.
