Personal Thoughts

This Doves In Flight in Viper Blue is something seriously special. It’s part of an exclusive overseas run, and from what I can tell, very few exist in this finish—I’ve only come across a handful of previous listings, which makes it a rare gem.

When this one arrived, it was filthy—clearly left in its case and forgotten about for years. But after a proper deep clean and some fretboard oiling, it absolutely sang. For a Med-bodied guitar like this, it has an unusually crisp and airy top end, almost reminiscent of a J-200, while still retaining that signature warmth and depth you’d expect from a Dove model.

The action is sitting low, making it super easy to play, and it responds beautifully whether you’re strumming hard or picking lightly. It’s got that big, lush resonance that fills a room, making it as much a performer’s dream as it is a collector’s piece.

 

Condition Report

This guitar is in excellent condition, with only a few tiny impressions here and there if you want to be really fussy, but nothing that takes away from its overall look or feel. The Viper Blue finish is striking, and now that it’s cleaned up, it looks stunning. The frets and fingerboard are in great shape.

 

Final Thoughts

A rare and stunning version of the Doves In Flight, this one has the sound, the playability, and the looks. If you want a jumbo-style acoustic that still retains clarity and chime while delivering huge resonance, this is an absolute standout. Whether you’re a collector or a player looking for something truly unique, this one’s got it all.
