It's a Dove, but a whole lot more. With it's rich, custom ebony finish, you already know something is different with this bird. There's a secret that Tone Shop Guitars' custom design team hid in it's construction. Under the ebony lies Indian Rosewood Back and sides, delivering more volume and robust bottom end to it's tone, resulting in a Dove that not only looks different, but sings an altogether different tone than it's brethren.
This famous square-shoulder introduced in the early 60s is intertwined with one of the most revolutionary decades in popular music history. Its maple back and sides and long scale produce crisp, clear tone and projection, while the square-shoulder body adds balance and warmth. Classic Dove™ details include a bone nut and saddle, double antiqued multi-ply binding, nickel Grover® Keystone tuners, a traditional Dove truss rod cover, and a cherished pickguard featuring an inlaid mother-of-pearl Dove with hand-engraved and painted detailing.
