A beautiful acoustic-electric based on the guitar Elvis played in concert.
The Gibson Elvis Dove acoustic-electric is based on a customized 1969 Gibson Dove that was gifted to the King of Rock and Roll by his father, Vernon Presley. Elvis played this guitar in concert regularly from 1971 until 1975, including during the 1973 satellite-televised Aloha From Hawaii concert. In 1975, Elvis gifted it in mid-performance to an astonished audience member at a concert in Ashville, North Carolina. The Gibson Elvis Dove features a solid Sitka spruce top, solid maple back and sides and a mahogany neck capped with a rosewood fretboard. It also comes equipped with modern L.R. Baggs VTC electronics with an under-saddle piezo pickup and soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls. This stage-ready acoustic-electric includes a hardshell case for portable protection.
