Just sorry to hear how it came to be with you. 11 minutes ago, E-minor7 said: And here we see him caught after a brief but fierce battle. Nice diorama you've captured, there. Quite good photo, too, with the lighting and shadow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabarone Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hey! I gots one a dose... I think mine's a '91...tobacco burst, you say? I can't keep track of them all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dberlind Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Pretty. My son is dying to start playing the one I bought. But, it's like a decompression stop on the way up from diving. There are no short cuts. It has to stay in the humidification chamber. Giving it another two weeks and then it's off to the luthier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the finish and neck joint but that is is where the similarity ends. Under the hood your Dove is a totally different best than one built in 1980 which will have the typical Norlin-era bracing.

JBassman Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 My 1991 Gibson Dove vintage sunburst # 92061026. (# 206 = 25th July), bought new in the fall of the same year. Probably one of the 83 built in the Bozeman factory that year. flamed maple back and side, nickel Gibson-Deluxe tuners. Sweet and powerful sound. Incredible sustain and super low action.

Rich H. Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I currently own a 1990 Tobacco burst Dove that I purchased in the summer of 1991. The orange label states it was manufactured in the Bozeman facility. This guitar was idolized by all my son's Band mates in the nineties and through the twenties. I passed along this guitar to my son, and with his passing back in 2015 the guitar will be handed down to his son on his 18-th Birthday next year. The guitar is still in great shape, with absolutely no finish checking. I know, since I just replaced the HumidiPaks last week. I must say for the twenty years I got to play her, she was the best sounding guitar I ever owned. I have owned a Ovation Legend, Hummingbird, J-45, J-50, a12-string Gibson Jubilee, and a multitude of non descript guitars from my youth. None Of those ever played as great sounding and ease to play as my 1990 Dove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamel111 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Anybody know the difference between tobacco burst and autumn burst? I remember seeing a guy play with a Dove and I believe he said it was autumn burst and said it was a rare finish. Also, do your tobacco bursts have a burst on back or just a black back? I am thinking of picking a Dove up - what years would they have had a burst on back or just painted? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, , , probably sounds amazing and more than well broken in. 1 hour ago, adamel111 said: Anybody know the difference between tobacco burst and autumn burst?

DanvillRob Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I just ran up on this old thread. seems like you can’t swing a dead cat in here without hitting a Tobacco-Burst Dove! of course, my old Dove is Tobacco-Burst. my bride bought it for me in 1980 (I think). it’s a wonderful guitar, and was always my b”go to” guitar until my staff gave me a J-50 when I retired. Mine seems a little darker than the ones pictured in here…but looks about the same. I’m working on an iPad, and not sure how to post photos from it. But I can certainly post a video of me playing it on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, the bird is loud and a cannon, but the subtle beauty of the Dove and its smooth, mellow feel just sounds like heaven to my ears. As much as I want to love the tone my Hummingbird more, I have to say the Dove's warmth, clarity and projection wins out almost every time.

Yes - you can almost be categorized as a convert. Guess you will stand as a crown-witness when it comes to identifying and understanding the difference between the 2. A deliberate thought and splendid choice from Gibson - which especially becomes obvious with faded steel. In other words : Be glad you still have the TV Bird, , , , what year is it from btw - 2014 ?

Gotta say I just love looking at the colours and changing burst intensity across the day on the Hummingbird ... its almost enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
