Jon,

Good point--I only glanced at a few of facsimiles. Yes, the Jackson does appear a little smooth, doesn't it? Of course, I would really like to see high-res images of such pieces (better yet, to see them in-person) before having a conclusive answer for you. Without going back to look again, certain players' facsimiles look spot-on. Yes, perhaps a kindly photo editor decided to give Jackson's signature (and, perhaps, public perception) a more "Shoefull" appearance by softening the rougher elements of the signature!
