I travel and play all over the states with this guitar and it still gives me chills. I would have bought this again if I had too. Simply Amazing! The big round sound and big body makes it hard to set it down.

Guitar with a great voice

I just picked up a Gibson Dove from a local guitar store tonight. I have a 1968 well worn Gibson Hummingbird that I love. Same body size approximately. The Dove feels great and has great playability. What I like most about this guitar is it's voice---nice midrange to bright---which has to do with the wood combination. Not as bright as a Taylor. Acoustic guitars are a funny thing in some way in that you really need to play them to make an informed decision. I have been looking at a Gibson Blues King---totally different body and make up, it's essentially a very nice parlor guitar---but I think for what I do writing and performance wise the Dove is a better fit. I played the guitar at an open mic after buying it and the pickup system in the Dove is quite good. I would highly recommend this guitar if you are in the market in investing in a relatively high end quality instrument.

Vintage Dove

I first played a Hummingbird back in the early 60's when I was working in a music store... love at first strum.... couldn't afford it since I was a working musician using a Fender Jaguar and Jazz Bass...Fast forward to late 70's... wife bought me a Dove... for C&W and blues a superior guitar to the Hummingbird. My '79 Kalamazoo-Made Dove is the best guitar I've ever played...bar none! Deep rich tones... and a "boomer"... It's Dark-Dark Sunburst...almost Black... VERY pretty!

Disappointed

I wanted so bad to like this guitar. I really did. I tested it out at the Gibson Showcase in Nashville. It's one of the most beautiful instruments I've ever seen, action is pretty good, and feels pretty comfortable. BUT... the sound is mediocre at best. It sounded weak for the size, almost empty. More mud than musical. I compared it to my Martin and an Epiphone Masterbuilt with nylon strings. It loss both times. It's got no brightness at all. Maybe it would be good for rhythm with an electric playing over it, but honestly I would prefer something brighter.

Well Worth It

Posted by Fingers from Annapolis, MD on Dec 24, 2008

Reviewer's Play Style: Blues to Bluegrass

The Gibson Dove is the only acoustic guitar I have bought twice, and honestly, I like thie one better than the 70's Dove I owned. From blues to bluegrass the tone, action, and resonation is beyond reproach. When I bought this, the competition was a Taylor 814CE,A Gibson SJ200, and a Hummingbird. The Dove delivers the highs needed for bluegrass and the bottoms for blues. I also own a Guild D40 that has the action, but not the highs og the Dove. You won't need another acoustic if you shell out the money for a real Dove.
