This bird will fly, all orignal 1964 Gibson Dove acoustic guitar with the wider 11/16" fingerboard and great neck profile typical of its year, highly flamed maple sides and back, nickel hardware including the 'WAFFLE BACK" Kluson Deluxe tuners and original Tune-O-Matic bridge with nylon saddles. Great all original example with no modifications or repairs, large comfortable straight neck with a working truss rod. No cracks or breaks with the small exception of a small top crack between the sound hole and end of fingerboard (pictured), repair not necessary. Low action, good frets with plenty of life left, good neck angle no playing issues. The face does show some normal usage wear and weather checking, the sides and back are surprisingly clean not as checked, the back of neck retains all of its lacquer also very clean, the bridge and guard are down, the face is flat and straight. A nice original condition 8 in anyone's book a very desirable and hard to find Gibson flat top with the desirable wider neck profile. A hard to get rare Dove acoustic in natural great for playing or investment comes with original black Gibson hard shell case also nice with Gibson badge, yellow interior and working latches. Was only, $4999. Now only, $4499. Thanks, VGA

We ship USPS Priority and Fed Ex Ground next business day, all instruments are carefully packed utilizing new shipping materials, all instruments are insured by Heritage Insurance. All parcels are flat rate shipped and are the same price for all buyers in the domestic USA, international shipping is also flat rate for anywhere in the world. The price is based on the cost of new shipping materials, boxes, bubble wrap, tape and labor and has nothing to do with where you are or your ability to pick it up in person. It is not in our business model to offer in person demonstrations of instruments or in person pickup, both of these things take an employee and extra time. If you have a limit as to what you want to spend on shipping please factor this into you instrument offer as we accept reasonable offers on most items. If an item doesn’t allow a lower offer it’s because it’s already been discounted and already at its lowest price. We recommend that you don’t chose an instrument based on shipping cost alone as there are more important issues all of which we have well covered. I might point out that all of our guitars come with professional detailing and set up, this has real value and keeps one from getting inferior work from an unqualified retail establishment. Thanks for your understanding. John Russell Nelson owner VGA Vintage Gear America
