{"product_id":"dove-pro-acoustic-electric-w-fishman-sonitone","title":"Epiphone Dove Pro Violinburst Square Shoulder Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA '60s Classic, Ready for the Stage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Gibson Dove debuted in Kalamazoo in 1962 and quickly became one of the first acoustic guitars to earn genuine rock-and-roll credibility. Epiphone's Dove Pro carries that silhouette forward with a solid spruce top, select maple back and sides, and the iconic Dove pickguard artwork — all at a price that makes the design accessible rather than aspirational.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Violinburst finish gives the guitar a warm amber-orange glow that nods directly to those vintage originals. Combined with 5-ply white and black body binding and pearloid parallelogram fretboard inlays, this is a guitar that looks as considered as it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're playing around the house or stepping up to a mic at an open stage, the Dove Pro is built to handle both without making you choose between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid Spruce Top, Maple Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid spruce top is the tonal foundation here. Spruce is a natural fit for a strummer's guitar — it responds well to dynamic playing, staying clear and articulate under a heavy pick while opening up for more nuanced fingerpicking. Paired with maple back and sides, the overall character leans bright and punchy, with good note definition across the full range of the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard maple neck runs a 25.5\" scale with Epiphone's SlimTaper \"D\" profile — a comfortable, familiar shape that plays fast without feeling thin. The Indian Laurel fingerboard carries 20 medium jumbo frets across a 12\" radius, with a nut width of 1.68\" that sits right in the middle ground between slim electric necks and wider acoustic profiles. Grover Rotomatic 14:1 tuners keep the guitar stable through extended sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFishman Sonitone Electronics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe onboard Fishman system pairs a Sonicore undersaddle pickup with a Sonitone preamp mounted just inside the soundhole. Volume and tone controls are easy to reach mid-song without fumbling around the edge of the body. The system runs on a 9-volt battery (not included) and is designed to capture the guitar's natural acoustic tone rather than color it heavily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlugged into a PA or acoustic amp, the Dove Pro can hold its own alongside drums and electric instruments — a practical consideration for players who move between quiet settings and louder stages. The Fishman Sonitone is a trusted, widely-used system chosen by working musicians around the world for exactly this kind of reliable, no-drama performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClassic Details Worth Noticing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe imitation tortoise pickguard features the traditional hand-painted Dove artwork — the same bird-and-flowers motif that made the original guitar so visually distinctive. The Indian Laurel bridge echoes the design with pearloid Dove inlays, and the neck joins the body via a glued-in dovetail joint for solid, stable integration. Nickel hardware throughout rounds out a finish that's consistent and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck binding is a single ply of white, and the body carries 5-ply white and black binding on the top with a single ply on the back — details that give the guitar a finished, intentional look that holds up well in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop: Solid spruce with 5-ply white and black binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody: Select maple back and sides, Square Shoulder Dreadnought shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck: Hard maple, SlimTaper \"D\" profile, glued-in dovetail joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Indian Laurel, 12\" radius, 20 medium jumbo frets, pearloid parallelogram inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale length: 25.5\" | Nut width: 1.68\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectronics: Fishman Sonicore undersaddle pickup + Fishman Sonitone soundhole preamp (1 Volume, 1 Tone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuners: Grover Rotomatic 14:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Indian Laurel with pearloid Dove inlays | Saddle: Compensated imitation bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickguard: Imitation tortoise with classic Dove artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish: Gloss Violinburst | Hardware: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Epiphone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dove Pro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e EEDVVBNH1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
