I oiled the board and it is darker than what you see in those pics, not by a ton but it is darker. It matches the board on my 64 JR pretty close.

And I have to say that its one thing looking at pictures and quite another inspecting a guitar in hand.
I wasnt referring to anything you said, just prefacing my board comment with a disclaimer that braz can be light or dark.
Have you gotten the shipping info from Gibson?
