HistoryThe Dove was Gibson's second square-shouldered dreadnought, after the introduction of the Hummingbird in 1960. First made in 1962 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, it was based on the Martin D-style dreadnought.[1] Both Gibsons have solid spruce tops and engraved pickguards. The Dove has solid maple back and sides instead of the solid mahogany used for the Hummingbird, and a longer scale length (25.5" vs 24.75"). These make it a louder, brighter guitar than the Hummingbird.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} The double parallelogram fingerboard inlays, the two doves on the bridge, and the dove on the pickguard are mother-of-pearl. The original Doves had Gibson's metal tune-o-matic bridge, which seemed like a technological improvement at the time but had negative effects on tone and volume.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} The Dove has factory installed LR Baggs active electronics powered by a 9-volt battery.{{citation needed|reason=Since when?|date=October 2017}} In 1968 the internal bracing of the Dove was made heavier.[2] This sturdier guitar was less likely to be returned to Gibson for warranty work, but its volume was reduced and tone negatively affected.[3] In 1985 Gibson's new owners began to address the quality issues that were affecting the company's products and reputation.[4] By 1992 production of Gibson acoustic guitars was shifted to Bozeman, Montana. ModelsModels include the Dove Performer (with a Fishman Prefix T Pickup), the Dove Quilt (limited to 20 made with a quilted maple back and sides), the Doves in Flight (with extra ornaments), and the Elvis Presley Dove, based on the 1969 custom Dove that Elvis used in the early 1970s.[5] References1. ^Hembry, Gil;Gibson Guitars: Ted McCarty's Golden Era 1948-1966; GH Books; Austin, TX; 2007. 2. ^{{cite web |title=Vintage Guitars Info - Gibson flattop vintage guitar collecting |accessdate=2007-03-09 |url=http://www.provide.net/~cfh/gibson6.html#dove}} 3. ^Eldon Whitford, David Vinopal, Dan Erlewine.; Gibson's fabulous flat-top guitars : an illustrated history & guide; GPI Books; San Francisco; c1994. {{ISBN|0-87930-297-6}} 4. ^Kevin Maney.; Guitar-playing Harvard man turns Gibson around; USA Today; 02/21/2006. 5. ^{{cite web |title=Elvis' 1969 Ebony Custom Gibson Dove |accessdate=2007-03-09 |url=http://www.scottymoore.net/ep69dove.html}} External links{{Commons category|Gibson Dove}}
