Gibson Custom Dove Original Double Pickguard
The Gibson Custom Dove Original Double Pickguard in Vintage Cherry Sunburst is one of those guitars you recognize immediately, even before you’ve played a single note. The combination of the dreadnought design, the pronounced cherry burst, and the richly detailed double pickguard with inlaid dove gives this model a distinct identity within the Gibson Custom line.
Under the hood, it is all about definition and projection. The solid Sitka spruce top provides a fast response and a clear foundation, while the flame maple back and sides ensure a tight, focused tone with clear articulation. Combined with the long scale length, this delivers a powerful, open sound that holds up well in a band setting. The square shoulder body adds just enough warmth and balance to make the whole sound musically rounded. The traditional scalloped X-bracing contributes to a lively, dynamic character with plenty of headroom.
The construction is classic Gibson, with a mahogany neck and a rosewood fingerboard that feels smooth and familiar. The rounded neck profile fits comfortably in the hand and supports both heavy strumming and subtle fingerstyle playing. Details such as a bone nut and saddle, Grover tuning machines, and the nitrocellulose lacquer finish complete the package, in terms of both appearance and resonance.
Furthermore, with the built-in LR Baggs VTC pickup, the Dove is ready for the stage immediately, without compromising on its acoustic character. The guitar comes with a TFOA passport in a case.
