thewind12 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I have never seen a dark sunburst on a Dove, is it original or fake? Any idea how much it is worth? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated... Gibson Dove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I've seen some 70s and early 80s Gibsons with dark bursts like this. This Dove is a 1980. No clue as to value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 From the 1980 catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I would not expect this Dove to be a 'tone monster'. From the year of build it was probably built with quite heavy bracing. BuTT...yo never know. Ya might be tickled shitless with it...Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated... Gibson Dove What are the chances that I'd see this? I catually own a '79 Dove! Not "common" in the late 70's, (and early 80's it seems), but not unheard of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drathbun Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 What does it sound like Rob? I know my '77 Bird sounded like warmed over shyte and put me off Gibsons for more than 30 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you know the reputation of Gibson in those years....my old Dove sounds fabulous, but I've had it for 30 years, and it's just gotten better with age. It sounds better than my DIF, (2003), but I'm counting on it getting better with age too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drathbun Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 BTW Rob, your DIF is just amazingly gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hey D-Rob Smokin' Doves. I always love seein' yer DIF, But your '79 Dove looks gorgeous. Proof that Norlin did put out some killer guitars. B) Is that the original P/G on the 79? Looks in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 BTW Rob, your DIF is just amazingly gorgeous! Thank you. It's the only one I've ever seen with natural Maple sides and back. I'm actually looking for a 'Bird, but I'd really like a KOA 'Bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
