{"product_id":"gibson-dove-custom-flat-top-acoustic-guitar-1977-7458","title":"Gibson Dove Custom Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1977)","description":"Gibson Dove Custom Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1977), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, black lacquer finish, maple back and sides, spruce top; laminated maple neck with ebony fingerboard, original black hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Gibson flat tops of the 1970's don't get a lot of respect these days, but some of them are actually surprisingly good instruments-especially for the time. This gleaming black Dove Custom is certainly a striking guitar to look at, but also plays very well with a good dose of the typical Gibson midrange ring. The black finish is unusual on this model, and makes a great contrast to the engraved, pearl inlaid pickguard and bridge. The maple body imparts an extra snap to the square-shouldered body's tonal response, making this a good recording or band rhythm guitar. While braced more heavily than the earlier 1960's Doves, this guitar compensates with a much lighter solid-saddle bridge, and the sound is in the same league. Absolutely one of the nicest '70's Gibson flat tops we have had, in exceptional condition.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 41 1\/4 in. (104.8 cm.), 16 in. (40.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 7\/8 in. (12.4 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 25 1\/2 in. (648 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11\/16 in. (43 mm.). Super clean overall showing only light signs of use-just some small pickwear spots to the top finish and a few random dings. All original with no repairs or modifications, set up and ready to go. Excellent Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853263786124,"sku":"7458","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_3e538b67-d620-44c3-81e6-19ca37fab1af.jpg?v=1774332447","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-dove-custom-flat-top-acoustic-guitar-1977-7458","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
