Dave F Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm going to look at a Dwight Duece this weekend. Does anyone have one? Opinions welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 NICE find, Dave. You seem to have an uncanny ability of turning up some interesting rosewood guitars, of both the G and the M variety. Never played a Dwight Yoakam Honky Tonk Deuce, but what's not to love?: basically a rosewood SJ with 50's pickguard, tulips, and a little tumbling dice. Take a pic or two, if you can. Good luck, and report back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajay Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I played one for a week, and it was an awesome sounding and looking guitar. One of Gibson's very best. It's a Southern Jumbo really. I just learned on a long scale and felt cramped. I got it at Musician's Friend, so I returned it. I then ordered an Advanced Jumbo. If You like J-45's, You'll love The Deuce. Gibson got the dice wrong. I was a craps dealer on a cruise ship, so I knew that on dice, the six is always opposite the Ace. The way that they are displayed on the Pickguard is impossible with a real pair of dice. AWESOME guitar, and I would buy it if the price is right. I don't think that You can buy a new one for under $2700 now. They were $1800 when I was Gibson shopping in 2002. If You get Your hands on a mint used Deuce for under $1800 I would buy it. You could get Your money back easily. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'd been wondering - this is one of the finest Gibsons I have ever heard. listen with headphones if you can to Ray Wylie Hubbard - I think he borrowed this from somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Looks like a take on the now legendary old Stella Gambler! Don't know squat about the Gibson but we have tickets to see Dwight next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that the other day Dan, IIRC he wouldn't fly with his own guitars and borrowed this one from Elizabeth Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right! Here's the same guitar in different hands. Apologies on the doing choice, but that's the guitar ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 I looked at the guitar yesterday and it was in great shape and sounded good. Talked him down a little and brought it home. Still need to go over it and get it set up. Label says it's a limited edition #nn of 100 and has Dwight's autograph I will take some pictures if it stops raining.

Can't wait to see the pics. Is it natural or sunburst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splake Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I seen one of these on the Ohio Craigslist sight. But two states away from me. I love the look with the Dice. $1800 is a sweet deal. There is a vintage guitar dealer in town who has one listed at $3300.00. But I got my eye on a Sunburst J 160E first. I am sucker for sunburst. Good luck.
