Year and Value of my Gibson Dove

My Father passed away several years ago, and left me his Gibson Dove Guitar,I want to find out what year it is and the value, all I remember as a little boy was standing at the music store counter when they brought it out to him, through calculation i think it is between a 1962-1964 the Serial No # is 117209

ANSWER

Your calculations are good! The serial number indicates that your guitar was made at the
Kalamazoo Plant, USA, in 1963.

Here is the Blue Book pricing info:

1962-1965
Excellent $5,500 - 6,500
Average $3,500 - 4,000

Best Wishes,
