Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Volume II Dove Double Guard Trans Ebony Light Aged 4.11 #23365133

Description The Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Volume II Dove Double Guard in Trans Ebony Light Aged is a bold and refined recreation of one of Gibson’s most iconic square-shoulder acoustics. Instantly recognizable, the Dove has long been celebrated for its powerful voice and striking visual presence, and this Custom Shop edition elevates that legacy with meticulous craftsmanship and tasteful aging. The Trans Ebony finish allows the grain to subtly show through while the light aging treatment lends the guitar a broken-in, vintage-inspired character that feels both authentic and inviting. Built with a Sitka spruce top and maple back and sides, this Dove delivers a commanding tonal profile with exceptional clarity, projection, and definition. The scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and dynamic response, allowing the top to breathe while maintaining strength and balance. Maple’s naturally focused and articulate voice pairs beautifully with the crisp attack of spruce, making this guitar ideal for bold strumming, articulate flatpicking, and ensemble playing where clarity and punch are essential. The mahogany neck features a comfortable round profile that fills the hand without feeling cumbersome, offering a confident and traditional playing feel. A 25.5" standard-scale length provides added string tension for enhanced volume and snap, while the 1.725" bone nut offers generous spacing for both chord work and intricate picking. The rosewood fingerboard, with its elegant parallelogram inlays and 12" radius, contributes smooth playability across all 20 frets and reinforces the Dove’s classic Gibson aesthetic. Modern performance meets vintage style with the inclusion of an LR Baggs VTC pickup system, delivering a natural, transparent amplified sound that faithfully represents the guitar’s acoustic voice. Grover Keystone tuning machines provide smooth, reliable tuning stability, while the bone nut and saddle enhance sustain and tonal balance. Strung with Gibson .012–.053 strings and housed in a premium hardshell case, the Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Volume II Dove Double Guard Trans Ebony Light Aged is a powerful, visually stunning acoustic built for players who appreciate iconic design, authoritative tone, and Custom Shop excellence.
