Solid Spruce Top: The solid spruce top of the Epiphone Dove Studio offers exceptional resonance and projection. This classic wood choice enhances the guitar’s brightness and dynamic range, allowing for clear, articulate sound across all frequencies. The spruce top’s ability to age gracefully means that over time, it will develop a richer, more nuanced tone.

Select Maple Back and Sides: The select maple back and sides contribute to the guitar’s overall bright and focused sound. Maple’s natural clarity and sustain help to produce a well-defined tone with a strong midrange presence. This combination of woods ensures that the Dove Studio stands out in both solo and ensemble settings.

Fishman Sonitone Pickup System: Equipped with the Fishman Sonitone pickup system, this guitar delivers high-quality amplified sound. The system includes a Sonicore pickup and a soundhole-mounted preamp with simple volume and tone controls. This setup allows for easy adjustments, ensuring that your amplified tone remains true to the acoustic sound.

SlimTaper D Neck Profile: The SlimTaper D neck profile is designed for maximum playability. It offers a comfortable, fast-playing experience, making it ideal for both rhythm and lead guitarists. The neck’s slim design reduces hand fatigue and allows for smooth transitions between chords and solos.

Grover Rotomatic Tuning Machines: The Grover Rotomatic tuning machines provide excellent tuning stability. With an 18:1 ratio, these high-precision tuners ensure that your guitar stays in tune longer, even through extensive playing and performance sessions. This feature is essential for maintaining consistent sound quality.

Imitation Tortoise Pickguard with Dove Artwork: The imitation tortoise pickguard, adorned with traditional Dove artwork, adds a touch of classic elegance to the guitar. It not only enhances the visual appeal but also protects the top from scratches and other damage, preserving the guitar’s pristine look.

Glued-In Neck Joint: The glued-in neck joint ensures a solid and stable connection between the neck and body. This construction method enhances the guitar’s sustain and tonal consistency, providing a reliable and durable instrument.

Adjustable Truss Rod: The adjustable truss rod allows for precise neck adjustments. This feature helps to maintain optimal neck relief and action, accommodating various playing styles and preferences. It ensures that the guitar remains comfortable and playable in all conditions.

Nickel Hardware: The use of nickel hardware adds a touch of durability and aesthetic appeal. Nickel-plated components resist corrosion and wear, contributing to the guitar’s longevity and maintaining its visual charm over time.

Binding and Inlays: The 5-ply white/black top binding, 1-ply white back binding, and pearloid parallelogram fingerboard inlays contribute to the guitar’s refined appearance. These details enhance both the aesthetics and the structural integrity of the instrument, adding a touch of elegance and craftsmanship.
