Gibson Dove 1965 Vintage Guitar Review in Singapore

Gibson Dove 1965 Vintage Guitar. Sitka Top with stain maple back and side.Gibson Dove is a flattop Steel-string acoustic guitar made by Gibson Guitar Corporation. ,. The Dove has solid maple back and sides instead of the solid mahogany used for the Hummingbird, and the Dove has a longer scale length (25.5" vs 24.75"). The Dove's longer scale length and maple back and sides make it a louder, brighter guitar than the Hummingbird. The double parallelogram fingerboard inlays, the two doves on the bridge, and the dove on the pickguard are mother of pearl. The Dove has factory installed active electronics powered by a 9-volt battery. The original Doves had Gibson's tune-o-matic bridge. While the tune-o-matic bridge seemed like a technological improvement at the time, the metal bridge had negative effects on tone and volume. The Scotty Moore web site has photos of several different Dove bridge types; tune-o-matic, adjustable, and fixed. In 1968 the internal bracing of the Dove was made heavier;[2] while this made a sturdier guitar that was less likely to be returned to Gibson for warranty work, the volume of the guitar was reduced and the tone suffered.[3] In 1985 Gibson's new owners began to address the quality issues that were affecting the company's products and reputation.[4] By 1992 production of Gibson acoustic guitars was shifted to Bozeman, Montana. While until recently Gibson said the Dove was the "Legendary 1962 model with all the original details!" , in 2007 the Dove became one of Gibson's Modern Classics. Among the features of the Modern Classics are "Big Sky" radiused fingerboard edge, bone nut, and Tusq saddle. Since it's been stated that"'The Modern Classics are designed for the contemporary player...we are convinced these are also the most playable acoustic guitars available today'..

@loserfur I don't see anything wrong with this piece...all it needed was a new saddle as the plastic piece was worn off. and a great setup when the neck was straighten...the resonance was restored...you could hear it on the video

@bigbirdkangaroo how much did you pay for it, and what was wrong with it?

[bigbirdkangaroo]

i think i tried this guitar as brass basah....got a 62 from ebay instead....as that one wasn't all original and a bit pricey for its condition.
