Description
The Gibson Dove was a staple of the King of Rock and Roll's guitar collection. A gift from his father, Vernon Presley, this remarkable guitar was used by Elvis regularly from 1971 - 1975 until he gifted it mid-performance to an awestruck fan. The all-new Elvis Dove is modeled after that iconic guitar, and it's excellent for professional players, collectors, and anyone seeking a top-notch acoustic with a gorgeous sound.
This stunning guitar features a maple body capped with a solid Sitka spruce top, giving it a bright, powerful sound with excellent articulation. Its square shoulder dreadnought body gives it plenty of 'oomph' and projection, and its LR Baggs VTC electronics and under-saddle piezo pickup make it equally suitable for the stage and the studio. And thanks to its Mother of Pearl parallelogram inlays, gloss ebony finish, and gold hardware, this Dove has an elegant look that's sure to draw attention.
Once you start riffing on this guitar, you won't want to put it down, courtesy of its rounded mahogany neck that plays great for classic rock riffs, open country chords, and everything in between. It also sports a delightfully smooth Indian Rosewood fingerboard that practically glides underneath your fingers. Simply put, this Gibson plays like nothing else - you'll just have to try it out yourself to see what we mean.
Decked out with Keystone Waffleback tuners, a rosewood Dove bridge, and a bone nut and saddle, the Gibson Elvis Dove is an incredible acoustic guitar with a rich history behind it. If that sounds up your alley, reach out today, and we'll be happy to provide more information!
