Classic rock 'n' roll acoustics
This Gibson has been meticulously sculpted using the finest, handpicked materials which deliver unique qualities. The top is made of Sitka spruce, producing bright and clear sounds with excellent projection, while the maple back and sides complement the spruce's brightness by providing crisp and articulate tones. Together, these materials produce a beautifully balanced and dynamic harmonic that accommodates a variety of genres and playing styles.
The Indian rosewood fingerboard further enhances the natural harmonics of the guitar with its warmth and depth. Additionally, the bone nut and saddle ensure that the instrument's characteristics are highlighted during your performance, producing rich and full-bodied voicings with excellent sustain. Experience a premium acoustic experience with unparalleled tonal clarity and richness with the Gibson Elvis Dove.
A legend in the music hall of fame
Elvis Presley, also known as The King of Rock and Roll, is an iconic figure in music history. Born in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1935, Elvis was a pioneer who revolutionised the music industry with his unique blend of rockabilly, country, and rhythm and blues. His distinctive voice, gyrating hips, and energetic performances set him apart from other musicians of his time and made him an instant sensation. Throughout his career, Elvis recorded numerous hits such as "Hound Dog", "Jailhouse Rock", and "Heartbreak Hotel" that cemented his status as a legend in the music world.
Beyond his musical talents, Elvis was also known for his good looks, charisma, and charitable work - making him a beloved figure both on and off stage. Even today, decades after his passing in 1977, Elvis continues to be celebrated as one of the greatest and most influential artists of all time. This model, the Gibson Elvis Dove Acoustic is closely associated with Presley, as he famously played a similar model during his career. And when equipped with this exceptional model, you too can rock 'n' roll as much as your heart desires.
