A Legendary Acoustic Guitar in a Limited Edition!
The Gibson Dove Modern Classic is a 21st century version of a true legend. With all the features of the 1962 Gibson Dove, coupled with lowered, more playable action, and onboard electronics, the Gibson Dove Modern classic is a beautiful guitar. Part of the Gibson Acoustic Historic Collection, the Dove is one of the most recognized acoustic guitars in the world. Its tortoise-inlaid dove pickguard, the traditional Gibson rosewood dove bridge, and the mother of pearl fingerboard inlays set off the Sitka spruce top and curly maple body. This piece of history is only available in a limited production run, so act now to own the Gibson Dove Modern Classic!

Modern Classics, improved
Delivering quality craftsmanship and classic style, Gibson guitars will always be of the best in the world. Yet, the same technological developments that constantly change and revolutionize the audio industry are also impacting the needs and wishes of modern musicians: Gibson knows this. With the release of the Modern Classic line, Gibson gives a nod to the modern guitarist - the guitarist who needs onboard electronics, cutaways to reach the uppermost frets, modified neck profiles, and setups that allow playability - no matter the style of playing. With these features in mind, Gibson redesigned the entire Modern Classic line to give us premium, handcrafted guitars that play easier, intonate better, sound great plugged in, and stay in tune even better than before. These guitars feature the latest design advancements, including radiused, or rolled fingerboard edges, giving you a fast, comfortable feel. And, with string height lower at the nut, these guitars will also play even easier and intonate better all the way up the neck. Final Gibson touches, including new soundhole labels, sturdy Grover tuners, and premium Fishman pickups, make it easy for you to take your favorite traditional-style Gibson acoustic onto the modern stage with confidence!

Quality construction
All Modern Classic guitars are handcrafted by Gibson in Bozeman, MT, from premium tonewoods and components. The Gibson Dove Modern classic is another example of the Gibson standard and is built to stand the test of time. The Gibson Dove Modern Classic features a premium Sitka spruce top, and AAA flame maple back and sides with checkerboard marquetry. A curly maple neck, rounded for better playability, carries a rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl double parallelogram inlays. Staying true to history, the Gibson Dove Modern Classic features the traditional Gibson Dove bridge with beautiful mother-of-pearl doves laid into the rosewood. An intricate tortoise pickguard featuring greens, yellows, and reds, is graced with the memorable image of a white mother-of-pearl dove.

Square Shoulder style
The Gibson Hummingbird brought a subtle new body style and a bold new look to Gibson's dreadnought family. The Hummingbird was Gibson's first 16" wide "dreadnought"-style guitar with the extra wide upper bout, known as the "square shouldered" body shape. As beautiful as it is playable, the Gibson Dove Modern Classic features this classic and bold square shoulder look.
