Dove nut width

[splake]

, Can you guys shed light on if All Doves over the years have the same 1 1/2 or 1 8/16 nut width.

 

I Know the 1960 reissue has 1 1/2,, , For instance if I was to buy a 1991 or a decade earlier whatever.., do all Doves have the same nut width as the 1960 re-issue?

 

If not, can you guys specify what years have which width?

 

thanks in advance .

So, Doves are male guitars?

The 2013 Standard Dove that I had had the traditional Gibson 1.725' nut which is just 1/32 of an inch smaller than a 1 3/4" neck.

The '99 I had also has a standard nut.

Do you think they named the model after the very narrow nut width cited in the original post?

In 2012 Gibson made 2 batches of 50th anniversary Doves they had 1.525 nut withs

 

Robi Johns talks about the first (and most expensive of the two batches) in this video around the 4:35 minute mark :

 

 

 

Here's a photo of one from the second batch :

I've always considered a Dove more of a male guitar and the Hummingbird more of a female guitar.

In case anyone wants to "go off on me", I own both!
