PatriotsBiker 61 Report post Posted September 25 Nice!!! I keep eyeing one online. I like the baked top. I'd like to play one in person. Have been scoping them out since they came out this Spring. It was in my recent top-3(ish) earlier this year when I got something else. My card is WIDE-OPEN...... but no, not until next year. And I mean it. Congrats, by the way. Enjoy. It's a sharp looker.

It‘s a shame, but this is the first time ever I played a Dove. Those are rare birds here. Anyway, I‘m really happy, nice and LOUD. Much louder than my Hummingbird and SJ-200, almost like the D-18. Also, I‘m totally impressed how it sounds fingerpicked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zombywoof 225 Report post Posted September 25 Congrats! I finally figured out the "Love" thing. This is the Dove that guy from Tesla was hawking on a video posted here a while back. Hey, I do not get out much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jinder 142 Report post Posted September 25 Ah fantastic!! I really like the Love Dove. That '70s style bridge is what attracted me to my '95 Dove, although mine was a replacement rather than the original. Looks to be a beautifully laid out guitar and is a timeless companion for a Bird!

Only in the videos I've seen online...they sound very similar! I've had my in-store shopping/guitar auditioning wings clipped a little by the Covid situation this year sadly. I'm glad to hear you were swayed by my Dove enthusiasm, I've always loved them. A really iconic but also subtly under-the-radar guitar. Those who know, know...

Dave F 214 Report post Posted September 25 (edited) I'm still on a honeymoon with my Dove. I'm starting to prefer the narrow nut. I would like to see Gibson add the bird beak to all the Doves and Hummingbirds. It just seems right, Edited September 26 by Dave F Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALD323 18 Report post Posted September 26 Two birds are better than one I say! And those are both beauties. I also love the keystone grover nickel tuner buttons on your Dove! I ordered a set of those for my Hummingbird and they really fit and look beautiful on both the Dove and the Hummingbird! Congrats! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you are doing well in the middle of this virus chaos. Those are hard times for a professionell musician. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to see Gibson add the bird beak to all the Doves and Hummingbirds. It just seems right, Those Doves inflight are pieces of art. Just breathtaking. I had to look, that’s a real narrow nut. But why not. Just one of thousand things more to adapt in life. 🙂 While I like the blood sunburst of my Love Dove I would have preferred a pale natural top. My sunburst/natural balance is swapping over to sunburst. Especially in my Gibson territory. Sunburst: 4, natural: 0. A true and serious first world problem, I know! On the other hand, the baked top is nice to have. So, all in all I’m happy. 🙂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A really iconic but also subtly under-the-radar guitar. Those who know, know... Unless the TRC contributes to sound I would think the only difference would be the terrified top on the Love Dove. Gibson though really needs to work on their Signature models. I was just just looking at the Signature line and endorsers of one their smaller competitors (which includes Stefan Grossman and Roy Bookbinder) and the best Gibson can conjure up when it comes to acoustic guitars is the likes of the guy from Tesla?
