  1. Hi i'm Anna.

    I am lооking fоr a gуntle and SEXy man

  2. What a wonderful guitar. I came within a hairs' width of buying a J-180 but chose my Dove, it was that close. I think the SJ-200's J-180's and Doves are without peer.
  3. Just started up after a couple of years layoff, easing into it. Bus Stop by the Hollies.
  4. Yeah, after a layoff of a couple of years, I'm rusty. Three times I have rattled my pick out of my guitar having let go of it while doing the staccato strum intro to "Things we said today". I will always be a better singer than player and as I bought my Dove to accompany my singing, it works just the way I want. I'd like to be a better player and perhaps I may still improve, but I'm content.
  5. Thanks you all, I knew I'd like it here.:) Being inspired to look up why my Dove is orange tagged, I've found that (and I should have remembered this), it is called a "60's Dove" (even tho it was built in 1997) and differs in some small details from other "Doves". I feel inspired to play again as I've taken the last couple of years off to learn piano and am hoping that the theory I've learned will help me be a better guitar player. We shall see.
  6. I take that back, my daughter described my C. Bruno Imported Ventura as a sing-sing back in the early 80's... she dearly loved Puff the Magic Dragon, she'd be asleep before the song was done
  7. 2nd picture post .. we'll see if it turns out This is my sing-sing (daughters description some 35 years ago)
  8. As the thread title suggests, I really dig my guitar. I've played since 1979 but the Dove is the first and very likely only fine guitar I will ever own. I like others no doubt, but have no desire to possess them as I have exactly what I want. Built in 97' bought new in 2000 for 1200$ cash plus an Ovation, Ibenez 12 string and a laminated Tama drum set (hated to give up the new Zildjians), I felt I got the better side of the deal. I have come to the Gibson site looking for Gibson lovers, not bashers. To hear it on some other sites, every other brand guitar is crafted in heaven by angels and polished with unicorn tears whereas Gibs, well you know. I am aware of whats' happening in the business world and what quality concerns there have been, but my guitar is heaven sent. I played every fine instrument in town twice before I bought, it took me a couple of years to save the money, I'm now a semi retired working class guy. Once I decided on maple Gibsons, I had to choose between a SJ-200 an Everly Bros J-180 and my Dove. The Dove took it based on sound, not sight. Some say it's too blingy, I would have bought it had it been unseen, polka dotted and triangular shaped, it sounded that good. I've never experienced GAS. Enough is as good as a feast IMO. I'm not going to find a better guitar than what I own. I hope that everyone can feel as good about their guitar I do. I do have a question about something I've read here regarding label coloring in Gibsons. Mine is orange. Can someone elaborate on that? The other question is regarding pricing. In 2000 when I purchased, I think list price was somewhere about 2500$ or so, now I see MSRP at 4500$. Allowing for the passing of years and inflations et al., have prices risen so dramatically or did I just get a great deal on a fine instrument? Be well.
