Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Dove Reissue Natural

Overview

The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Dove Reissue is a faithful recreation of the early square-shoulder Dove models that first appeared in the early 1960s. Built in partnership with Gibson Custom, this reissue features a thermally aged solid spruce top and solid figured maple back and sides, delivering the bright, clear voice maple is known for, along with a strong low end and balanced overall response.

A one-piece, thermally aged mahogany neck with a Rounded profile and bound Indian rosewood fingerboard offers a comfortable feel with classic aesthetics. Signature Dove appointments—including the iconic pickguard and bridge inlays—complete the vintage look. With onboard L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC electronics, this model is ready for stage and studio use right out of the case.
