With this re-issue of the Gibson Dove Original VCS, the American manufacturer Gibson expands its Original Series by an all solid electro acoustic guitar in authentic 1960s look featuring the characteristic Tortoise pickguard with engraved dove. Equipped with a Sitka spruce top, the all solid Dove produces very bright sounds, that are especially pronounced in the middle frequencies and are enriched with a fast and bass-rich attack by the maple body. A thin nitro lacquer and a Scalloped-X-Bracing promote the strong vibration behaviour of the instrument and allow for a fast and clean tonal development with little effort. The rosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays is worked into a 3-piece maple neck, offering smooth playability thanks to a 43.8 mm nut width and allow the player excellent access to all 20 frets. A large headstock with inlay and Gibson lettering perfectly complements the overall appearance and, with the inserted chrome-plated Gotoh Keystone tuners, fully embodies the spirit of the 1960s. The Gibson Dove Original VCS electro acoustic guitar comes including an L.R. Baggs VTC pickup system, case and Gibson Accessory Kit.
