Rms126 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hello everyone! I’m looking for a Gibson Super Dove for sale. The larger super dove, specifically, not the standard dove. I have been looking around online but haven’t had any luck. Willing to travel to purchase. Located in Florida. Please let me know if you know of anyone willing to sell me one. Thank you so much!

J185cat Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Not familiar with the Super Dove model. What are the differences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I believe they only were made 2010-2011. I saw the one on reverb, however it is shipping from France. I was really hoping to find one stateside as I don’t want to ship it if at all possible.

You know those have a big square volume tone panel on the side. There also a tad thinner than your traditional Dove or Jumbo acoustic.

G Man Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Can't help but wonder if the tops on these are at all limited by the massive bridge. It would be an interesting experiment to record it as is, and then replace that giant bridge with a simple vintage rectangular style and see if there is a noticeable difference.

Dave F Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 If all else fails, contact a 5-star Gibson dealer and see if they'll make one. I use Bailey Brothers in Birmingham AL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 "I know there is a super Mart dread, but a ditto Dove, , !?" , , was my first thought. Then it dawned that I played one of these in London over 10 years ago. It was a guitar I just wanted to try without special expectations. However it was remarkable > impressing < Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Stupid Question: how different would this be from an SJ 200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Looks to be the same size as the thinner, cutaway G200 natural so they're tooled up for it. Change wood (curly maple back and sides), neck, bridge and pick guard (DIF) and you have it.

BoSoxBiker Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 There's one located in Texas on the AGF classifieds I saw last night. The seller links to a 7 year old Reverb ad for additional pictures. My guess is that he bought it from that ad back then? Here's the AGF link. Good luck. https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=431485 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 These are GREAT guitars. The thinner body makes for a very comfortable stage instrument and they look and sound incredible. I’ve always wanted one but they only seem to have made a handful of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rms126 Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 I just want to say that I appreciate each one you for your help! I ended up purchasing one on reverb, shipping from Paris as I type this! I am beyond excited. I have searched and searched. Additionally, I called nearly 50 guitar stores across the country trying to find one stateside with no luck. To say these are hard to find is an understatement. When it arrives, I will be sure to post some pictures and provide a review if you all would be interested. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
