The Dove Flies Again
Some guitars just have that look. The Dove is one of ’em. From the iconic pickguard to the stunning cherry-finished figured maple back, this Epiphone Inspired by Gibson 1963 Dove Reissue is a certified head-turner. But trust us, the tone more than backs up the visuals. This isn’t just a reissue; it’s a rebirth of a legend, built for the modern player who craves that classic square-shouldered dreadnought sound.
All-Solid Woods & Aged Tone
Here’s the lowdown: the top is Thermally Aged Solid Spruce, giving you the dry, open, and resonant voice of a well-loved vintage piece right out of the box. Paired with Solid Figured Maple for the back and sides, the result is a tone that’s bright, clear, and incredibly articulate. It has the power to cut through a mix but with a sweet top-end bloom that’s perfect for nuanced fingerpicking. The scalloped X-bracing just adds to the resonance this thing rings for days.
Plug In and Play
Ready for the stage or the studio, the Dove comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC undersaddle pickup system. It’s a top-tier electronic package that translates the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with warmth and accuracy. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls are intuitive and out of sight, preserving the guitar’s clean, classic aesthetic while giving you total command over your amplified sound.
Authentic Feel & Details
From the Gibson “open book” headstock to the Kluson Waffleback tuners, this Epiphone is dripping with authentic details. The one-piece mahogany neck has a comfortable Rounded profile that feels substantial and familiar in the hand. Add in a bone nut and saddle, Mother-of-Pearl inlays on the rosewood bridge and fretboard, and you’ve got a guitar that feels as premium as it sounds, a true player’s piece built to inspire.
