Dove delight
Own a legend. It’s history in the palm of your hand. Since it burst onto the sixties scene as Gibson’s follow-up square-shouldered model to the Hummingbird, the Dove has been used by a vast array of successful musicians over the years. Every care has been taken to ensure that this tribute replicates the original model. But with some modern updates. Gibson have completed it with their thin finish and hand-rubbed VOS process to add some improvement while maintaining the classic character of this guitar.
A match made in heaven
It's a dream pairing. A flamed body and stunning Sitka spruce top. This duo of premium tonewoods that adorn the Dove creates a beautifully bright tone you'll instantly fall in love with. Its sparkling edge comes from the treated spruce top. The more you play an , the more the wood’s grains open, releasing a mature sound that will embellish your signature into anything you play. That's what this spruce top does. Think of the quintessential Gibson acoustic sound. Now think what you could do with it.
Gibson Quality
If there's one thing Gibson do well, it's making acoustics that sound phenomenal. Through decades of quality, they have become one of the acoustic masters of our generation and this is no different with the Dove. In fact, their very sound bellows from it.

It's something that could make a huge difference to your sound and performance.
