The Epiphone 1963 Dove Reissue, A Vintage Classic Takes Flight Again

Vintage Inspired Epiphone Dove Acoustic Guitar

Some guitars make an impression before you even play a note. The Epiphone 1963 Dove Reissue is certainly one of them. With its unmistakable Dove pickguard, elegant mother of pearl appointments, and classic Natural finish, this square shoulder dreadnought captures the spirit of one of Gibson's most celebrated acoustic designs. Developed in collaboration with Gibson Custom, this Inspired by Gibson Custom model brings the character and craftsmanship of the original 1963 Dove into the hands of today's players. And as beautiful as it looks, there's plenty more to love once you start playing.

Thermally Aged Spruce and Solid Maple Tonewoods

The real magic starts with the thermally aged solid spruce top. Reinforced with traditional scalloped X bracing crafted from quarter sawn solid spruce, it delivers a lively, responsive voice with the kind of mature resonance normally associated with a well played vintage instrument. Solid figured maple back and sides provide clarity, definition, and a lovely brightness that keeps everything articulate without sacrificing warmth. There's plenty of body behind big open chords, while individual notes retain their character and presence. The thermal aging process helps bring out a deeper, more nuanced response, giving this Dove an inviting musical personality right from the start.

Comfortable Mahogany Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard

A thermally aged, one piece mahogany neck with a rounded profile gives this Dove a substantial yet comfortable feel in the hand. Paired with a 25.5 inch scale length and a 20 fret Indian rosewood fingerboard, it offers a satisfying playing experience whether you're digging into powerful rhythms or exploring more delicate fingerstyle passages. The beautiful mother of pearl split parallelogram inlays add just the right amount of vintage elegance. There's something particularly appealing about a guitar that combines such an ornate appearance with a straightforward, familiar playing feel.

LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC Acoustic Electronics

Of course, a guitar this expressive deserves an electronics system that lets its natural voice shine. The LR Baggs Element Bronze VTC system features an undersaddle pickup designed to capture the warmth, detail, and dynamic character of the instrument. Whether you're performing onstage or recording in the studio, the system provides a practical way to bring that rich acoustic sound into an amplified setting. Discreet soundhole mounted Volume and Tone controls make adjustments easy without interrupting the guitar's beautiful vintage appearance. It's a thoughtful combination of classic acoustic character and modern versatility.

Authentic 1963 Dove Appointments and Vintage Styling

Epiphone hasn't overlooked the details that make the Dove such a distinctive instrument. The rosewood Dove bridge with mother of pearl inlays, ornate pickguard, engraved DOVE truss rod cover, and Kluson Waffleback tuners all contribute to its unmistakable vintage personality. An authentic bone nut and saddle complete the traditional appointments, while the glossy Natural finish lets the figured maple and spruce speak for themselves visually. This is a guitar that celebrates its heritage without being stuck in the past. From its elegant looks to its full, balanced voice, the 1963 Dove Reissue is ready to make some music of its own.
