Gibson Dove 2026 - Alpine White Gloss
The Gibson Dove was first introduced to the world in 1962 at the dawn of one of the most revolutionary and impactful decades in popular music history. It was the second Gibson square shoulder acoustic model, following the Hummingbird, which was first released two years earlier, in 1960. Over sixty years after its introduction, the Dove remains one of the world’s most popular, instantly recognizable, and iconic acoustic guitars. The Dove has been seen in the hands of some of the biggest names in music, including Tom Petty, Elvis, Alex Lifeson, John Mellencamp, and Frank Hannon, just to name a few.
The Gibson Dove Greatest Hits Vol. II Alpine White is a striking, limited-edition acoustic guitar released as part of Gibson's exclusive Custom Shop Greatest Hits collection. It puts a modern, bold spin on the iconic 1962 square-shoulder dreadnought by pairing a glossy nitrocellulose finish with premium tonewoods and upgraded electronics.
