USED GIBSON / DOVE CUSTOM CS [03]

The square-shouldered "Dove" acoustic guitar was created in 1962.
In 1960, Gibson's first square-shouldered "Hummingbird" was introduced, followed by the advanced "Dove" model.
In the 1970s, all Gibson round shoulders were shifted to square shoulders, marking a period of change. The Dove and Hummingbird were the milestones in this transition.
This guitar is thought to be made in the early 1970s, judging from the serial number.

The BODY is all solid, with spruce on the TOP and maple on the SIDE and BACK.
The NECK is a 3-piece maple. While J-45 and Hummingbird have a 24-3/4" scale, Dove has a 25-1/2" long scale.
The "Dove" in the bridge and pickguard decoration is impressive, and the pickguard is an old-style carved type.

The pickguard has numerous cracks due to years of use, and the graphic lines are fading. The bridge has been thinned and adjusted, and the binding has been replaced. 6 peg covers are missing.
There is a crack near the neck above the soundhole, which has been patched from the back. There is a gouge on the left side, which has been repaired with wood. This area has also been patched with wood from the back.
The string height is very low, approximately 2.3mm at the 12th fret of the 6th string and 1.9mm at the 12th fret of the 1st string, making it easy to play. The truss rod is checked 60 degrees to the left and right.
Although it is a very used old guitar, it has a clear outline and a grainy, corey and powerful sound.
A genuine hard case is included.
