Better quality of a Well known pic of the Beano Burst

[Glauco]

Hi guys, here

Thread 'I think I found Beano'

Oct 3, 2014

Look at a couple things that are similar here. First, over all, look at the way the grain runs into the center seam below the bridge on both guitars. The angle and the location is the same. I can't rule out the inlays either. Beyond that, there are a couple identifying marks I find similar. First, this little blister circle in between the knobs.

And the dark grain line under the tone knob...

we discussed for pages and pages of the beloved Beano burst, and more has been said about a particular pic, and the fact that it could be used in trying to match the guitar, if only a hi res version was available (in fact it is, but the price is very high)

now, googling in a asleep night I ended here

which contains this

am I wrong or, even if it's not "the best of the best" yet, is a better quality pic in comparison with the "old one"?

now, I'm a totally zero with photoshop, but playing a bit with my iPhone and trying to mod it via the photo editor many details can be highlight.

What do you think, is it better than the others?

i see some details that I did not notice previously.
If I'm wrong... sorry in advance!

you're welcome
i see details I wasn't able to see previously, and if you edit it professionally I think it'll be possible to have a very detailed pattern

Black dot just behind the tailpiece, anyone else see that? There doesn’t appear to be one or anything like that on the compared guitar.

I believe those two guitars are one-in-the-same. There are a lot of grain lines that match up very well as well as the dark vertical lines in the 19th fret inlay.

there are many details on the image, if you watch it carefully (then you can think about them if are of the guitar or is something related to the photo film, but we'll do in a second moment)... I've also tried a request in "threads" for some photoshop experts to work on the image but, maybe because Beano is not a Swimsuit Model alike and is not wearing some small sized bikini, no one answered
I've tried a "photoshop request" in reddit too, but I'm a relatively new user so my "karma" points are still low... when I get something I'll post here!
