Epiphone 1963 Dove 'Inspired By Gibson Custom' Acoustic Electric Guitar

Includes Hardshell Case

The Epiphone 1963 Dove 'Inspired By Gibson Custom' Acoustic Electric Guitar pays tribute to the iconic Gibson Dove, a guitar that has left a lasting mark on the music world since its introduction in the 1960s. Known for its square-shoulder design, the Dove became a favorite among influential musicians, capturing the spirit of a transformative musical era. The Epiphone version stays true to the essence of the original while incorporating modern upgrades to deliver a superior playing experience. With its solid thermally aged spruce top and solid maple back and sides, this guitar offers enhanced tonal clarity and resonance, making it a standout in any setting.

Equipped with a new rosewood fretboard, mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays, and a vintage gloss finish, the 1963 Dove offers both elegance and durability. The thermally aged neck with an era-correct profile enhances comfort and playability, while the L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC pickup system ensures excellent amplified sound. This guitar also features a bone nut and compensated bone saddle for optimal string-to-body transfer, making it perfect for studio or stage use. With its classic Dove aesthetic and modern performance features, the Epiphone 1963 Dove is a must-have for discerning musicians looking for a guitar that combines history with innovation.
