{"product_id":"vintage-gibson-dove-custom-usa-1977","title":"SOLD - Vintage Gibson Dove Custom - USA 1977","description":"\u003cp\u003ePresenting the 1977 Gibson Dove Custom Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar, crafted in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This exquisite instrument boasts a striking ebony lacquer finish, maple back and sides, a spruce top, and a laminated maple neck with an ebony fingerboard. It comes with its original black hard shell case, completing the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson flat tops from the 1970s may not always get the recognition they deserve, but many of these guitars are hidden gems, and this Dove Custom is a prime example. Its visual appeal is undeniable, but it's the playability and sound that truly set it apart. The guitar produces that iconic Gibson midrange ring, rich and resonant. The rare black finish is a standout feature, offering a stunning contrast to the beautifully engraved, pearl-inlaid pickguard and bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maple body contributes a bright, snappy tone to the square-shouldered design, making this guitar a fantastic choice for recording sessions or as a rhythm guitar in a band setting. Despite its heavier bracing compared to the 1960s Doves, this model compensates with a much lighter solid-saddle bridge, ensuring the sound quality remains top-notch. This is undeniably one of the finest '70s Gibson flat tops we've encountered, and it's in exceptional condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is remarkably clean, showing some signs of use with pick wear spots on the top and a few small dings, but nothing offensive. It presents as all original, with no replacement hardware. The guitar recently had a professional neck reset and setup, making this guitar in top working order, perhaps the best playing condition of its 47 years!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent condition, this Gibson Dove Custom is a testament to the craftsmanship and quality of Gibson guitars from this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAction @ 1st Fret: 0.5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAction @ 12th Fret: 2.5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNut Width: 42.94mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12th fret Width: 52.82mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight: 2.24kg \/ 4.94lb \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eBody: Square-Shouldered Dreadnought\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eTop Material: Solid Spruce\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eBack and Sides Material: Maple\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eFretboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eBridge Material: Ebony w\/ Pearl Dove Inlay\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eFrets: 20\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eInlay: Pearl Parallelogram\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003ePickguard:Cherry w\/ Engraved Dove-Inlays\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eTuners: Original Grovers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"leading-tight text-lg mb-3 font-roboto-light\"\u003eCase: OHSC\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838883160383,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G93810044","price":2997.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/Vintage_Gibson_Dove_Custom_-_USA_1977.png?v=1782094836","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/vintage-gibson-dove-custom-usa-1977","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
