The current Original Collection Dove, refined with a mahogany neck!
The Dove, a square-shouldered acoustic guitar, was born in 1962.
In 1960, Gibson released its first square-shouldered guitar, the Hummingbird, followed by the Dove, a higher-end model.
In the 1970s, Gibson transitioned from round-shouldered to square-shouldered guitars, marking a period of transformation. The Dove and Hummingbird laid the groundwork for this change.
This is the Dove Original, released as part of the current "Original Collection" lineup.
It features a vintage-inspired cherry sunburst top and cherry sides/back.
The body is, of course, all solid wood, with a Sitka spruce top and figured maple sides/back.
The mahogany neck enhances the resonance.
While the J-45 and Hummingbird have a 24-3/4" scale length, the Dove employs a long scale of 25-1/2".
The "Dove" motif in the bridge and pickguard decorations is striking, and the pickguard features a hand-painted, carved design reminiscent of older models.
The nitrocellulose lacquer finish and scalloped X-bracing are familiar features.
The double parallelogram and headstock crown inlay are also familiar Dove specifications.
The headstock features stable Grover keystone tuners and a traditional Dove truss rod cover.
The pickup is an L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup, with volume and tone controls located at the soundhole edge!
It incorporates a unique low-frequency compressor (LFC), producing a dynamic sound!
The sound is characterized by a clear outline, crisp tone, and a powerful, focused core! Made in the USA, Montana factory.
*Please note that there may be some unevenness or scratches in the lacquer finish, which are characteristic of the manufacturing process. This does not affect the product or its playability.
