The Dove™ acoustic was first introduced at the legendary Gibson™ & Epiphone factory in Kalamazoo in 1962 and became one of the first acoustic guitars to become a recognized rock and roll classic. Now, both beginners and professionals can enjoy the classic sound of the Dove acoustically, or plugged in with the onboard Fishman® electronics.
At Newell’s Music in Greenwood, SC, every guitar we sell is handpicked for quality, tone, and player appeal. We don’t just stock boxes—we inspect, set up, and fine-tune each instrument to ensure it’s stage-ready from day one. Every guitar comes with our lifetime adjustment service, so you can count on ongoing support as your playing evolves. Whether you’re buying online or picking up in person, we re-inspect before delivery to guarantee your guitar arrives safely and performs flawlessly. It’s all part of the Newell’s Experience.
