This Majestic "Bird" Celebrates an Iconic Gibson Acoustic
With the Gibson Doves In Flight Acoustic Guitar, an already majestic "bird" takes flight once again. Modeled squarely after the legendary Hummingbird/Dove introduced in the early '60s, the Doves In Flight guitar combines familiar classic tone and feel with the addition of jaw-dropping art and design appointments. The Doves In Flight features the iconic flame maple back and sides with Sitka spruce top — a renowned tonewood pairing that delivers a desirable sonic blend of treble and midrange blossom. A stunning 3-piece maple neck with gorgeous ebony fingerboard offers incredibly smooth playability and feel, making this crown jewel ideal for fingerpicking as well as flatpicking styles. Aside from its full-feathered feature set, the many acoustic players here at Sweetwater will tell you: there is also something intangible about the Gibson Doves In Flight that makes it soar like no other acoustic guitar!

Next-level design and visuals
The Doves In Flight Acoustic celebrates the artistic design of the original with glorious aesthetics. A total of 28 stunning mother-of-pearl dove inlays adorn the instrument from bridge to headstock. The genuine ebony bridge features two doves executed in fine detail, making this bridge not just one that enhances the tone of this incredible instrument, but one that will have your audience vying for a closer look. The classic pickguard design is another visual delight, as are the breathtaking eight pairs of doves along the ebony fingerboard. In addition to these captivating dove inlays, Gibson adorned this one-of-a-kind acoustic with mesmerizing multi-ply abalone binding on the top and back.
Gibson's quality handcrafted construction
As so many guitarists immediately discovered when the Dove first appeared, underneath its stunning ornamentation lies an amazing acoustic guitar. This incarnation brings you the same square shoulder design, with a solid Sitka spruce top and flame maple back and sides. These tonewoods join forces with a longer 25.5-inch scale length to give the Gibson Doves In Flight a crisp, bold tonality that cuts through the track and works beautifully in any musical situation. And to ensure top-level playability, no bird flies the Gibson nest without the famed Plek-assisted setup, offering you great action, spot-on intonation, and a buzz-free instrument that is as perfect as perfect can get!
