MIJ Dove Copy -GB25 (CAN)

Post by Barry »

This is the same model that I have (see avatar).

You don't see them too often, it's usually the MIK or the slightly "cheaper" looking MIJ version.
These were exceptionally well finished and the only real difference from the real thing is the adjustable saddle and a mahogany rather than maple body.

This one looks like it's been played hard but may be still be a worthwhile grab for someone.
Considering the condition though the price is too high at CAD$375

I'd really need to see the headstock logo on this one to see whether it's the inlaid one or the gold transfer one... usually one of the indicators I look for.

I've still never found a Dove as cherry as yours, Barry. I keep looking! :wink:

On second look, the logo appears to be missing (?) Hard to tell but if it's been removed then it's likely a decal and not inlaid.
The cherry colour on mine looks very bright in the sunshine but might be closer to this one under indoor lighting.

Heh, I meant "cherry" as in "in as good of condition". I should have given my post a second look before hitting "submit"! :mrgreen: :oops:

"Cherry" still works.
