alanbakewell Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I have the option to purchase a Gibson Dove Artist. Does anyone have an opinion on this model. I'd appreciate any comments. Cheers, Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Nice to have you on the fourm...........I own a Dove, but I'm far from an expert on the Artist model. I've heard a huge number of good reports on the Hummingbird Artist and Pro, so I'm assuming it would be similar regarding The Dove Artist. This guitar is a full-fledged Gibson and I imagine it sounds very good. Some of the specs for the Dove Artist will likely be different from The Dove, but the Dove Artist is its own guitar and a good one.............If the price is right, you're likely considering a very nice instrument. You might check this forum for threads dealing with The Dove Artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I didn't know of it's existence either. Just "Google" it, there's plenty of images. Cheers, Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse_Dylan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I believe this is the Songwriter body, correct? So it's probably "just" a Songwriter, long-scale, sitka/maple? So you could look for information on maple/spruce Songwriters, if there have been any?? The Songwriters in general are well-regarded. I think the Hummingbird Artist is also long-scale (!) and based on the Songwriter body, so I suppose one could also say this Dove Artist is probably the same as the Hummingbird Artist, just with maple instead of mahogany. I could be correct about any, all or none of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanbakewell Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Jesse, I don't know. Having owned a Songwriter Deluxe Custom, I think the body on the Songwriter was a tad smaller. Relic 58. That's the one. Except mine, ( I bought it yesterday ), is left handed. It's a 1999 model and plays great. I'm well pleased with it. Thanks for your input guys, it's appreciated. Cheers, Alan.
