Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibson Custom’s right-handed Elvis Dove is an ebony acoustic-electric modeled after Elvis Presley’s customized 1969 Dove. A solid Sitka spruce top joins flame maple back and sides in a square-shoulder dreadnought design. For amplified work, its L.R. Baggs VTC system combines an under-saddle piezo with a soundhole-mounted preamp. The rosewood fingerboard and bridge, rounded mahogany neck, gold-plated Grover tuners, and mother-of-pearl dove inlays complete its distinctive presentation. A hardshell case is included.
