6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Sitka Spruce Top, Mahogany Neck, and Rosewood Fingerboard – Wine Red

Take Flight with This Sweetwater-exclusive Gibson Dove!

Gibson’s maple-bodied, square-shoulder Dove brought a bold new look — and tone — to Gibson’s dreadnought lineup when it was introduced in the early 1960s. Only at Sweetwater, this Dove acoustic-electric guitar embodies all that vintage tone, playability, and feel with modern updates to suit today’s discerning players. This Dove features a Sitka spruce top with maple back and sides for punchy treble and rich midrange tone that is balanced, full, and packs serious projection. And when you plug in, LR Baggs VTC electronics deliver stunning amplified acoustic tone. A mahogany neck with stunning rosewood fingerboard offers impeccable playability and response, making this neck ideal for both fingerpicking and flatpicking. Classic Dove detailing includes a bone nut and saddle, double antiqued multi-ply binding, Grover Keystone tuners, a traditional Dove truss rod cover, and the iconic pickguard featuring an inlaid mother-of-pearl dove with hand-engraved and painted embellishments.

Quality handcrafted construction

As discriminating guitarists immediately discovered, underneath the Dove’s flashy ornamentation is an amazing acoustic guitar. This incarnation of the Dove brings you the same square-shoulder design, with a solid Sitka spruce top and maple back and sides. These tonewoods come together and join forces with a longer 25.5-inch scale length to give the Dove a crisp, bold tonality that cuts through the track and works beautifully in countless musical situations. The guitarists at Sweetwater know how important playability is, and no Dove goes out the door without the famed Plek-assisted setup, offering you great action, spot-on intonation, and a buzz-free instrument that is just about perfect.

Great-sounding LR Baggs VTC electronics

The Dove comes with LR Baggs’s VTC acoustic pickup system. This system features a low-profile under-saddle transducer that’s proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar and improve the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. Combined with an onboard preamplifier with an unobtrusive and a removable volume control mounted just inside the soundhole, the VTC gives your Dove a pure-sounding amplification presence.

Classic Gibson craftsmanship yields impeccable sound, looks, and playability

Gibson’s reputation as a fine guitar builder dates back to the late 1800s. Handcrafted since day one by some of the most skilled luthiers around, Gibson acoustic guitars have inspired countless players around the world. When you pick up a Gibson acoustic guitar, you know you’re getting the finest tonewoods, quality hardware, and incredible attention to detail. These instruments are built to sound great and stand the test of time. After moving from Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Nashville, Tennessee (where Gibson electric guitars continue to be made), Gibson finally settled their acoustic operation in Bozeman, Montana, where they continue to handcraft some of the finest guitars on the planet.
