JuanCarlosVejar Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Folks, So by chance I came across a page on the Gibson website that says Tom Petty Signature Dove: http://www.gibson.com/Products/Acoustic-Instruments/Square-Shoulder/Gibson-Acoustic/Tom-Petty-Signature-Dove/Finishes.aspx It has to be a few years old. If it actually got produced ,it would make him one of probably very few people who have both Martin and Gibson signatures I tried to find more info about and came up with nothing ... Perhaps Hogeye can fill us in? JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Petty already has both a signature Martin HD-40 6 and 12 string built when he was still with us. Petty, did, of course, play a Dove as well as a bunch of other Gibson, Martin and Epiphone acoustics. But never let it be said Gibson's marketing team is letting the grass grow under their feet.

fortyearspickn Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 If you're in Marketing and "let the grass grow under your feet" you'll wind up working in Human Resources. Regardless, In this case, it appears the actual guitar was 'marketed' a few years ago. Gibson isn't trying to cash in on Tom Petty's death.

J-1854Me Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 JuanCarlos, I often wondered why it was that Tom Petty never had a signature edition Gibson. I've never seen that TP Dove model though....hmmm. I must have been sleeping! :-) I most frequently associated Petty with the J-180/Everly Bros guitar, as he's been seen with (notably in the 'Learning to Fly" video)-- , or, more often, the natural J-200. I think Mr Petty was decidedly a multiple guitars player. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 He played one of those big epiphones didn’t he ? Ahhh Someone with a brain post what it was Big hummingbirdy looking thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 He played one of those big epiphones didn't he ? D'you mean the Frontier - wouldn't surprise me. Seems Petty was in lOVE with all of the great classics - electrics as acoustics. And all the gestures, outfits and manners too. He was a walking semi-anachronistic prism that way ✧ who could blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
