Following in the footsteps of the Hummingbird™, the flat-top Dove™ debuted in 1962 as the second square-shoulder dreadnought Gibson made. Its spellbinding tone comes courtesy of a flamed maple back and sides and a beautifully aged Sitka spruce top.

This 1968 Dove has the original Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish. It shows signs of honest play wear but is in very good condition overall. The pickguard is beginning to warp a bit in the center but does not affect playability. Adding to its uniqueness, 1968 is the only year that Gibson screwed down the Dove’s pickguard.

The only modification made to this instrument from its original state was the addition of a strap button at the heel. This Dove comes with the original black hardshell case with yellow interior.

Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, or shipment to an address in the US, starting September 28, 2023.
