thank you for your input......really appreciate it

thanks for responding....Newman

sj-200's seem big sound...maybe best for live performance?.....Dove maybe better for small groups....like my girlfriend...lol but many artists I like have played the SJ-200.......wonder what's better for fingerpicking...hope to play one soon

its so hard to find a guitar from this era to play.....inventory slim....can't find a sj-200 in Florida !!

thanks for the input.....sticky?

never played a sj-200......any thoughts.....have played a 1996 Dove...nice! was wondering the difference

I own a D-35 Martin, 1975....mellow, rich mid- ranges and a 2012 Guild D-55...I want to add a Gibson to the mix and wondering what anyone thinks about adding either of the Gibson's mentioned in the post? I like finger-picking and some strumming, mixed and play songs of John Prine, Townes, Foley, ..some Petty ballads...not pure country, but country-folk.....some old Eagles, etc...any info would be helpful on tone difference on these 2 guitars...thanks....Dove vs SJ-200.....Newman

thanks you......

what is MARS or GC?

I also have a 1996 Dove natural top near me that is in excellent condition...any thoughts? ( but they want $2950 ) seems high

don't think so....I would never buy a guitar online.....the Dove is near my brother's house in NY...I'm in Fla

Need some help here...I've owned a 1975 D-35 Martin since 1980 and have played quite a bit over the years. I have an opportunity to buy a 1974 Gibson Dove. The Dove is not near me to play. My concern is duplicating a similar sound. Do any of y'all know the similarities and/or differences in these two guitars ? ( assuming both in good condition and have been played equal amount of time ). The Gibson had a neck reset 10 years ago...the Martin hasn't needed it, but the saddle has been sanded down a lot. Thanks in advance from a new member....Newman
