    Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Dove Reissue A/E Guitar

    When legends like Elvis, Tom Petty, and John Mellencamp needed that perfect acoustic sound, they reached for the Gibson Dove. Now you can capture that same iconic magic with the Epiphone 1963 Dove Reissue — a stunning recreation that brings vintage authenticity within reach of every passionate player.

    Epiphone 1963 Dove Reissue A Modern Classic with Timeless Charm

    A Modern Classic with Timeless Charm

    Born from a partnership between Epiphone and Gibson Custom, this beauty delivers the balanced brilliance that made the original Dove a studio and stage favorite. The thermally aged solid spruce top paired with figured maple back and sides creates a tone that's brighter than your average acoustic but with enough low-end warmth to make every strum feel like music history in the making.

    • Thermally Aged Solid Spruce Top: This isn't just any spruce — it's been carefully heat-treated to replicate decades of natural aging, giving you that vintage woody resonance right out of the case.
    • Figured Maple Back and Sides: The solid maple construction delivers crisp clarity with surprising bass response, creating a perfectly balanced voice that cuts through any mix.
    • Traditional Scalloped X-Bracing: Quarter-sawn spruce bracing provides the structural foundation for optimal vibration and sustain, ensuring every note rings true.

    Built for Players Who Demand Perfection

    This Dove isn't just about looks — though it's drop-dead gorgeous — it's engineered for the modern musician who needs vintage soul with contemporary reliability.

    • 25.5" Scale Mahogany Neck with Rounded Profile: The one-piece construction feels substantial in your hands without being bulky, while the rounded profile accommodates both strummers and fingerpickers with equal comfort.
    • Bound Rosewood Fretboard: Twenty standard frets with split parallelogram mother-of-pearl inlays create a playing surface that's as smooth as it is stunning.
    • Kluson Waffleback Tuners: These vintage-style machines with metal Keystone buttons don't just look the part — they lock your tuning in place through the most demanding performances.
    • L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC Pickup System: Stage-ready electronics with under-saddle piezo pickup and preamp ensure your acoustic brilliance translates perfectly whether you're recording or performing live.

    Iconic Beauty That Commands Attention

    Every detail on this Dove tells the story of acoustic guitar royalty, from the ornate inlays to the classic "open book" headstock profile.

    • Multi-Ply Top and Back Binding: The elegant binding frames the body like a vintage photograph, highlighting the gorgeous, figured maple.
    • Mother-of-Pearl Dove Pickguard: The iconic dove inlay isn't just decoration — it's a symbol of the legacy you're holding in your hands.
    • Dove-Shaped Bridge Plate with Twin Dove Inlays: Even the hardware celebrates the heritage, with two mother-of-pearl doves gracing the rosewood bridge plate.
    • Gibson Crown and Epiphone Logo in Aged Mother-of-Pearl: The headstock appointments scream authenticity, complete with the "DOVE" engraved truss rod cover and “Inspired by Gibson Custom” double diamond logo.
