This gorgeous Dove came to us during the recent Dallas vintage guitar show.
The guitar is all original and free of cracks, repairs or issues. Frets show little wear, which is the case for the guitar as a whole.
My experience with 70s Gibson guitars is that they can be spotty in quality, playability and sound. This particular guitar has none of these traits. The wood selection is premium and the fit and finish is beautiful. Tone is more balanced than you might assume, being that this is a dreadnought, thanks in part to the maple back and sides.
Checking the market, I noticed that you just don't see many of these out there. All Gibson doves are highly sought after and collectable, and this one falls right in line.
Original case included, and it is in excellent condition just like the guitar.
