Gibson Dove Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Satin Vintage Burst

A square-shoulder dreadnought to rule them all, we have this Gibson Dove Mahogany finished in Satin Vintage Burst. First introduced in 1962, the Dove followed in the footsteps of the Hummingbird which traditional sports a mahogany back and sides but offered players a longer scale length and maple back/sides. This model flips the script and offers players traditional Dove specs with mahogany back/sides.

The Dove is crafted from a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides for a deeply rich and warm sonic voice. Under the hood, traditional scalloped x-bracing offers structural support to the instrument and help with tightening up its larger, booming sound. Its body is finished in a satin vintage burst and is stylized with multi-ply binding on the top and back, multi-striped rosette, and signature dove inlayed pickguard. A 25.5-inch scale round mahogany neck is glued into the body with a secure compound dovetail neck-to-body method. The neck is topped with a bound rosewood fingerboard with 20 standard frets and mother of pearl split parallelogram inlays.

Amplifying the Dove, a L.R. Baggs VTC electronics system is mounted inside the body and can be controlled with the soundhole-mounted volume and tone control. Convenient and professional, the pickup system sounds exceptional and is ready to go right out of the case. Strings are loaded through the rosewood bridge with mother of pearl dove inlays and are capped with TUSQ pins before being tuned to pitch with the Grover Rotomatic tuning machines. The Dove comes securely packed in a Gibson hardshell case for added protection.

A unique acoustic offering from Gibson to keep things fresh, the Gibson Dove will certainly keep inspiration flying.
