I have just bought a new June 2008 LC 335 from a trader in the USA who shipped it to me in England.

I am over the moon with the guitar, it is superb, but I have a question.

When I compare my guitar with the photo on the Gibson website and with other photos I have found of the LC335, my guitar is slightly different and it has me worried if I have a genuine model.

The pickups and pickguard are located about 1/2 inch further up the body ie towards the neck and the fingerboard extends over the body by only two frets not three as in the Gibson website picture.

Also the bridge is an ABR-1 not a Nashville as per the Gibson spec.

My guitar has the CS logo on the back of the neck and it has a CS serial number.

Could it be that Gibson have simply changed the spec recently? Has anyone else experienced this or is there an explanation?
