Rich H. Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I just purchased a 2006 Gibson Doves in Flight, and I was wondering when the Bozeman facility first started producing them for sale. Thanks very much if you have any information to my question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Not having any kind of expertise in Bozeman-made Gibsons I am not sure when the first model was issued but Gibson has produced it, often in very small numbers, since at least 2000.

Ya its hard keeping track of when and for how long. So many variations yearly. Its tough keeping track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich H. Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) I currently or have owned 5 doves in the past, and this by far is the most beautiful and best sounding of them all. I have seen where Gibson produced 144 Doves in Flight in 2006, but all the years before and after a mere 7 to 12 a year. As soon as I can take pictures and post them. you will see just a beauty my purchase was. My previous Doves were a 1973, 1977, 1990, 2016, and 2018. I am keeping my Limited Edition 2016 Quilted maple and my 2006 Doves in Flight, but currently selling my Limited Edition 2018 Dove. (If interested) If anyone can tell me how to post pictures, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

groovadelic Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 They’ve been around since the mid-90s. The initial versions were a limited edition premium Dove with the dove in flight headstock. Over the years, the pickguard, binding, and fretboard inlays got very intricate. The fingerboard/bridge went to ebony as well but I think it varies by year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
