Item Description |
Gibson Elvis Dove Special Edition (no261102) This is a limited edition Elvis Presley signature model from 2008.This model is a reproduction of the legendary 1969 custom ""Dove"" guitar that was used by Presley from 1969 to 1975 and also used in the historic satellite live broadcast concert ""Aloha from Hawaii"" (1973).The ebony black finish and black pickguard give it a striking and distinctive look. It features a square shoulder body with a spruce top, maple sides and back, a maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge.The nut width is approximately 44.5mm, the scale length is approximately 645mm, and the neck shape is a round neck.The ebony black finish is combined with a black pickguard, and the fingerboard inlays are made of mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays.Elvis Presley's signature is engraved on the truss rod cover. The tuning pegs are Grover Keystone metal knob type, and although they are tarnished, they operate smoothly. The pickup is an L.R. Baggs Element. It has a simple preamp with only volume control, and it can output an acoustic guitar-like sound with good separation and a solid dynamic range. This is an 18-year-old instrument from when it was new, and there are scattered scratches on the body top, sides, and back from normal use. Due to the ebony color, scratches are somewhat more noticeable. There are scattered scratches on the top and dents near the bridge, and there is a noticeable scratch about 5cm wide on the lower left of the back. There are no major scratches on the back of the neck that would affect playability, but there are several places where the paint is uneven. The fretboard surface is in good condition. The nut has been replaced from the original, and the bottom has been raised to increase its height. Considering its age, this instrument is in remarkably good condition. It has been meticulously adjusted, with string height at the 12th fret being 2.6mm for the 6th string and 1.8mm for the 1st string. The saddle has been replaced, and there is still plenty of room for adjustment in the truss rod. There is ample fret height remaining, and it will not require major maintenance for the foreseeable future. The sound is characterized by the hard, clear resonance unique to a maple body, with powerful bass tones and a crisp, articulate tone. It's a cool sound that's perfect for aggressive strumming, especially when playing with a heavy bass rhythm. It comes with the original hardshell case. Although still produced as part of the Artist Collection series, this is a special instrument with a rich historical background. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
