It has been used by players such as Elvis, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, Alex Lifeson, Frank Hannon, and many more. Now Epiphone, in partnership with Gibson Custom, is proud to introduce the Epiphone 1963 Dove Reissue, a stunningly authentic recreation of the iconic early Dove models from 1963. This beautiful acoustic guitar has a thermally aged solid spruce top that is reinforced with traditional scalloped X-bracing made from quarter-sawn, solid spruce. The back and sides of the 1963 Dove Reissue are made from solid, figured maple. It delivers a bright, clear tone from the maple body, as you might expect, but it also has a bit more bass than a Hummingbird and a very balanced tone overall that works exceptionally well in a wide range of musical genres. The one-piece, thermally-aged, 25.5” scale mahogany neck has a Rounded profile that is capped with a bound rosewood fretboard that is outfitted with 20 standard frets and adorned with split parallelogram mother-of-pearl inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dove is richly and iconically ornamented. The body features multi-ply top and back binding. The dove-shaped rosewood bridge plate has two mother-of-pearl dove inlays. It is equipped with a compensated bone saddle, and the nut and bridge pins are also bone. The iconic Dove pickguard features a mother-of-pearl dove. On the headstock, Kluson® Waffleback tuners with metal Keystone buttons help ensure solid tuning stability. The headstock features a two-ply white and black truss rod cover engraved “DOVE,” and the Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown are inlaid in aged mother-of-pearl. The headstock features a Gibson-style “open book” profile with the Inspired by Gibson Custom double diamond logo etched on the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure it meets the live performance and recording needs of today’s players, the 1963 Dove Reissue comes equipped with a built-in L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze VTC preamp and under-saddle piezo pickup system, so it’s stage and studio-ready whenever you are. A Red Line-inspired hardshell case, which features the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo on the exterior, is also included to keep this beautiful acoustic guitar safe when you’re traveling to your next performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack: Solid Figured Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Multi-ply Top and Back, Single-ply Fretboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Vintage Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Solid Figured Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Dove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Styles: Square Shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: Traditional Scalloped X-Brace; Quarter-Sawn, Solid Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide: Solid Figured Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Thermally Aged Solid Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 304.8mm \/ 12.0in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Count: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Mother-of-Pearl Split Parallelogram\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint: Dovetail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: One-Piece Mahogany; Thermally Aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 42.86mm \/ 1.69in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Rounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 647.7mm \/ 25.5in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Dove; Rosewood with Mother-of-Pearl Dove Inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Traditional Dove; Acrylic\/Celluloid Sandwich with Mother-of-Pearl Dove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: Compensated Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Endpin Jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Dual Action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Cover: Two-Ply, Vintage Wide Black Trim, White and Black, Engraved DOVE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuner Plating: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Kluson Waffleback with Metal Keystone Button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Soundhole-mounted Volume and Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Jack: 1\/4\" Endpin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreamp: L.R.
