Epiphone Dove Studio – Natural
If you are looking for a classic acoustic that demands attention both visually and sonically, the Epiphone Dove Studio (formerly the Dove Pro) is an incredible choice. This guitar pays homage to the rock and roll icon of the 1960s, bringing that legendary swagger to a new generation of players. At the heart of its projection is a solid Spruce top. Spruce is renowned for being stiff and hard, offering a clear, ringing, yet complex and nuanced tone that carries right through high volume levels. It remains clear and well-defined no matter how hard you play it, making this instrument a strummer’s dream
The body is paired with select Maple back and sides, which contributes significantly to the instrument’s unique voice. Maple is a dense hardwood, and its tone is often described as being like a laser beam—very focused and dominant on the fundamental note. Because it has fewer overtones than other medium-density woods, it results in quicker note decay. This characteristic makes the Dove Studio a preferred guitar for live performance settings with a band, as it cuts through a mix well and is less prone to feedback issues. When you plug in using the onboard Fishman Sonitone electronics, that “bright” sound ensures your acoustic tone isn’t lost among bass and drums.
Historically, the Dove style has been a favorite of rock and country legends who needed an instrument with grit and style—think along the lines of the rhythm-heavy drive found in Tom Petty’s work or the bravado of Elvis Presley (who famously played the Gibson counterpart). This Epiphone rendition captures that spirit perfectly. With its signature Dove pickguard artwork and parallelogram inlays, it looks as distinct as it sounds. Whether you are recording in the studio or hitting the stage, the combination of Spruce and Maple gives you a sharp attack with excellent separation that truly sings.
