Description
Discover the unparalleled beauty and exceptional sound of the Dove Original, a fantastic acoustic guitar crafted with precision in Gibson's Montana factory. From its gorgeous Vintage Cherry Sunburst finish to its bold voice and comfortable mahogany neck, this guitar is a perfect match for players and collectors seeking a top-of-the-line Gibson acoustic with a rich, old-school character.
Drawing inspiration from the Doves of the early '60s, the Dove Original boasts a large square-shoulder dreadnought body that delivers a powerful, resonant tone with a delightful touch of warmth. Its flame maple back and sides, long scale, and Sitka spruce top complement its sound further, giving it a crisp, bold tonality with crystal-clear highs. Guitarists will also love the feel of its rounded mahogany neck and velvety-smooth rosewood fingerboard, which make it easy to glide all the way from the first fret to the last.
Whether you're performing on stage or in the studio, the Dove Original's LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup provides an incomparable amplified experience. Just plug into your favorite amp via the 1/4" endpin jack and use the soundhole-mounted Volume and Tone controls to sculpt your dream sound effortlessly. And thanks to the pickup's advanced design that flawlessly translates the Dove Original's woody, organic voice, you won't have to sacrifice tone when performing at higher volumes.
Adorned with a bone nut and saddle, Grover Keystone tuners, multi-ply binding, Mother-of-Pearl parallelogram inlays, and the iconic Dove pickguard, the Gibson Dove Original is as much a work of art as it is a masterfully-crafted acoustic guitar.
