The Gibson Elvis Dove is a unique acoustic guitar, designed as a tribute to the legendary "King" of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. Inspired by the 1969 Gibson Dove that his father, Vernon Presley, gave him, this guitar faithfully replicates the model that Elvis often played on stage between 1971 and 1975, including during his iconic "Aloha From Hawaii" concert in 1973.

It symbolizes Elvis' soul and style, right down to the generous gesture he made in 1975, when he gave it to a fan during a concert in Asheville.

The Gibson Elvis Dove features a solid Sitka spruce top, providing a rich and clear resonance, while the solid maple back and sides add a bright and dynamic tone.

Its mahogany neck is topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, adorned with beautiful mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays, which add a classic visual touch.

The rosewood bridge, finely inlaid with mother-of-pearl dove motifs, pays homage to the iconic style of the Dove model, while the distinctive black pickguard, with its white bevel, echoes the iconic look.

Featuring a rounded neck profile for optimal playing comfort, this guitar has 20 standard frets and a 647.7 mm scale length, making it a pleasure to play for a variety of styles. On the electronic side, the Elvis Dove is equipped with a modern LR Baggs VTC system, with a Piezo pickup under the bridge and volume and tone controls discreetly mounted in the mouth.

This advanced system allows the instrument's natural sound to be amplified precisely, for quality stage performances.

Featuring gold hardware, a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, and supplied in a Gibson hardshell case, this guitar is a refined and powerful tribute to Elvis Presley's musical legacy, designed to capture the essence of rock and roll and the timeless style of a legend.

La Dove Elvis est une très belle guitare, la laque nitro noire change du coloris habituel (naturel ou cherry burst) et ajoute une touche classieuse. On perd le pickguard avec les oiseaux et décoration mais on gagne en sobriété avec un pickguard noir multiplis. Pour ceux que la référence à Elvis sur le cache trussroad dérangerait, il sera facile de le remplacer par un cache plus standard. Je pensais en trouver un dans l'étui mais Gibson n'a pas jugé bon d'en fournir un. Je pensais également trouver une reproduction du sticker Karaté comme celui qu'Elvis avait collé sur sa guitare mais là encore, Gibson n'a pas souhaité aller jusque là. Je ne l'aurais pas collé sur la table mais Gibson fournissant un sticker Monkey pour la SG Iommi à 2k€, ça me semblait logique de trouver un sticker Karaté sur une guitare à près de 5k€... Les bois sont les mêmes que sur la version Standard (on devine un dos en érable flammé en regardant à l'intérieur de la caisse). Ca sonne vraiment très bien, en revanche comparée à mon Epiphone Chris Stapleton Frontier (qui a la même construction et les mêmes essence de bois), ça manque de "moelleux"... La table torréfiée (aged) de la Chris Stapleton y est sans doute pour quelque chose. L'étui est une Gibson standard marron/rose: il est de très belle qualité mais un étui Custom Shop aurait été bienvenu à ce tarif (celui de la Chris Stapleton est une œuvre d'art avec motifs western...). En conclusion, pour un prix légèrement supérieur au modèle Standard, on a un coloris qui sort du lot et une référence à un des plus grands artistes du XXème siècle (j'ai été visiter Graceland, je suis sans doute un peu excessif). Ca fait de cette guitare un modèle sympa à jouer sur scène ou chez soi avec un côté collector qui devrait permettre à cette guitare de maintenir sa valeur au fil des ans. Si personne ne se rappelle d'Elvis dans vingt ans, la robe ébène de cette guitare à elle seule permettra de se distinguer du lot.
