1980 Gibson Dove

My husband has a Gibson Dove (probably 1980) S/N 80140063 and wants to know its value.

This Dove has seen many gigs and has some scars to prove it, but mostly cosmetic. The neck has been reset, new frets and bridge. It also has a professionally installed pre-amp.

Your help will be most appreciated.

Hi, Jess--

Your guitar was made at the Kalamazoo Plant, USA
January 14th, 1980 Production Number: 63

Here are the Blue Book Values:

1971-1984

Excellent $2,000 - 2,500
Average $1,000 - 1,200

**These values are bas3ed on ORIGINAL condition. Any alterations in the original guitar will reduce the value.
