Gibson Elvis Dove Ebony

What we say:

At A Glance

The Gibson Elvis Dove in Ebony is a lovely acoustic with a style of its own. Elvis fans will likely recognise this model, and it certainly looks very sophisticated with its Ebony finish and contrast binding. Crafted from Sitka spruce and maple, it produces a warm and balanced tone while the mahogany neck is a joy to play thanks to its Rounded profile.

The 12" radius gives it a familiar feel, so whether you choose to use it to play through hits from Elvis Is Back! or want a new acoustic for your own performance, this well-crafted Elvis Dove from the skilled luthiers at Gibson would make an excellent choice.

Features We Love:

Based on the Original

Back in 1969, Elvis was gifted a customized Gibson Dove by his father. He regularly used that guitar on stage from 1971 through to 1975, including during the famous Aloha From Hawaii TV performance. He gifted it to a member of the crowd in 1975, yet again proving why he was The King. This guitar is based on that original and successfully brings back some of that special magic.

Gorgeous Details

From the Mother of Pearl inlays on the rosewood fingerboard and bridge to the "ELVIS" truss rod cover, this guitar is full of beautiful appointments that make you appreciate how much thought, time, and skill has gone into its creation.

LR Baggs VTC

This premium pickup system is all about Volume, Tone, and Compression. With Compression often being the secret to great tone in the studio, LR Baggs has developed an acoustic pickup system that utilises compression tuned to key frequencies of the acoustic guitar to deliver a professional quality sound no matter where you are. 

Who Is It For?

Obviously fans of The King will love this Dove but with its classy yet understated look and excellent pickup system, it would greatly benefit any performing acoustic guitarist.

Highlights:

• Crafted to perfection
• Sounds incredible, acoustically and thanks to the LR Baggs electronics
• A must-have for any Elvis fan
