Welcome,


Here is a rare chance to score a very respectable Gibson Dove copy which was made in 1974 by Hayashi guitars Japan.


Its in players condition as shown in the photos provided, still very good at 52 year.


You can be sure that we've fully overhauled the guitar and supply with a light restore and full setup


This is a first edition piece from the so called 'lawsuit' era, which ensures the Gibson features like the open book headstock and 'flowerpot' logo, split marker inlays and all are here...


Hayashi were good at voicing their guitars to get near to the USA sound, as oppose to other makers which are often basically a Martin D-28 pattern with a Dove pickguard slapped on!


Action low, nice to play and a lot healthier on the wallet than a 70's Gibbo which would weigh in up to ten times our modest asking price,


Enjoy!
