From Our Research Team:

The "Modern Classic" version of a legend!

The Gibson Acoustic Dove is a stunning guitar in its appearance, boasting the trademark dove on its pickguard as well as two doves inlaid on its distinctly-shaped bridge. Though, Gibson Acoustic designed the Dove to deliver much more than just looks - this is a fine 6-string acoustic guitar with a solid spruce top, AAA maple body, and curly maple neck. Double parallelogram inlays line the rosewood fingerboard, only adding to the Dove's unique appearance. The kind of guitar you just want to pick up and play, you can't go wrong with the Gibson Acoustic Dove.

Needless to say, this guitar jacks it up a whole notch from a D18,D28, or a J45. Form, fit, and finish are perfect. Sound is like the sky opened up and heaven's angels are singing.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
