A modern tribute to one of music’s most iconic instruments, the Gibson Elvis Dove captures the elegance and unmistakable tone of the guitar that helped define Elvis Presley’s sound. With its stunning maple back and sides, Sitka spruce top, and hand-scalloped X-bracing, this square-shouldered Dove delivers the bright, balanced projection that made it famous on stage and in the studio.

The gloss nitrocellulose finish and multi-ply binding highlight its premium craftsmanship, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays and the distinctive black pickguard bring timeless Gibson style. A mahogany neck with a rounded profile offers smooth playability, joined to the body with a traditional hot-hide-glue dovetail joint for lasting resonance and sustain.

For modern performance, the LR Baggs VTC pickup system provides a natural, dynamic acoustic tone with discreet volume and tone controls mounted inside the soundhole. Gold hardware, Keystone Waffleback tuners, and a rosewood Dove bridge with mother-of-pearl inlays complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Each guitar ships in a Gibson hardshell case and features the “Elvis” truss rod cover and classic Gibson headstock inlays - a fitting tribute to the King himself.
