Explanation
Gibson / 1965 Dove Natural
What kind of guitar did you play today? I imagine
its sound was soothing and calming.
But as a guitar lover, you might also be thinking:
“I’d love to have a new guitar.”
No matter how wonderful an instrument you own, as you grow accustomed to it, music eventually becomes just an extension of your daily life. That’s not a bad thing
at all—in fact, I think it’s a good thing.
Playing the same guitar for many years—it
often feels like a beautiful relationship where you continue to play that one guitar as your partner until the end of your days.
If you feel like your daily routine lacks excitement—
if that sounds familiar—there’s one guitar I’d especially like you to try.
It’s a 1965 Gibson Dove.
It’s a rare model equipped with a
Tune-O-Matic bridge.
The top is made of spruce, while the sides and back feature maple stained a lustrous crimson.
Combined with the TOM bridge, this creates a unique tone where rugged, powerful lows coexist with sharp, sparkling highs.
When strummed, it delivers a driving force that seems to penetrate deep into your ears. When played as
arpeggios, each note cuts through with the precision of a blade.
This sensation is unmatched by any other acoustic guitar.
The decorative details also captivate the player. The pickguard features a gleaming
dove inlay, the headstock boasts a crown inlay, and the fingerboard is adorned with a double parallelogram pattern. The design is
opulent yet never loses its elegance, fulfilling the joy of ownership and drawing attention on stage.
And its playability is truly noteworthy. With a regular neck specification featuring a
nut width of approximately 42mm, it offers a grip that appeals to virtually everyone.
In short, this Dove is not merely an instrument to be admired—it is a constant companion in your daily life that continually offers “new surprises.” If you’ve
recently lost that sense of excitement for the guitar, this Dove will reignite the fire in
your heart.
