I think it looks very pretty.
That's gorgeous.
The best thing about that Dove, out of many great things, is that it's an acoustic guitar, and nothing more. No compromises. Mic it, mic your voice, Bob's yer Uncle.Larry Mal wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 7:42 am
That really threw me off the whole Gibson acoustic thing for years, I would play them in stores, and I just hated them. Finally I got that Dove from Maggie and that was set up pretty well, and I decided to learn how to set up my acoustics for the first time around then. I always thought it would be hard but it's easy. But that gave me the confidence to know that I could make a Gibson acoustic be other than the miserable thing I found in the guitar store- point being, if you think it sounds good in the store, just wait.
I bet that sounds fantastic. If you make a recording with it, please post it!Larry Mal wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 8:26 am
But, I did take the Dove back down to open C tuning. That's a big favorite of mine and has been for years, and I have to say the Dove shines with that tuning. As you know, the Dove has relatively subdued bass to it, and that means the low C string isn't booming out and flabby like it does on some other guitars. It's a lot of fun.
Here you go, Maggie- here's your Dove.
Sounds fantastic, Larry! It's lively and punchy, with some real sparkle. Well done.Larry Mal wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:50 amHere you go, Maggie- here's your Dove.
I'll throw the usual caveats out there, this isn't like a song or anything, it's just something I hurried up and recorded in my apartment. I was just wanting to show you a little bit what your Dove sounds like in C tuning with the nickel strings and such. I'm not making any claims as to the playing or the recording or anything with this.
