Bright, articulate and visually striking, the Epiphone Dove Studio delivers the legendary performance of a classic square-shoulder dreadnought in a more accessible, player-friendly package. Dressed in an elegant Alpine White finish as a Guitar Center Exclusive, it pairs a solid spruce top with a layered maple body to produce a clear, focused voice with strong projection and defined midrange presence. A mahogany neck with a comfortable Rounded C profile and 25.5” scale length offers a familiar feel with added string tension for enhanced clarity and note separation, while a rosewood fingerboard provides smooth playability. Onboard Fishman electronics deliver natural amplified tone, and signature details like the iconic Dove pickguard and inlaid bridge complete a design that stays true to its roots.
Solid Spruce Top and Maple Body for Clarity and Projection
The Dove Studio features a solid spruce top paired with layered maple back and sides, delivering a clear, articulate tone with strong projection and defined midrange presence. The spruce top provides dynamic response and headroom, while the maple body adds brightness and focus, helping notes stand out with clarity. Combined with the square-shoulder dreadnought design, this construction produces a bold, balanced voice that performs equally well for strumming and more precise, detailed playing styles.
Comfortable Mahogany Neck With Extended Scale for Clarity
A mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile offers a comfortable, familiar feel suited to a wide range of playing styles. The extended 25.5” scale length adds string tension, enhancing note definition and articulation while supporting a more precise response. A rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface with a touch of warmth, balancing the guitar’s naturally bright character. Together, these elements create a playing experience that feels controlled, responsive and easy to navigate.
Fishman Electronics for Natural Amplified Performance
Equipped with a Fishman S-Core undersaddle pickup and Presys VT preamp, the Dove Studio delivers a natural, balanced amplified tone. Soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls allow for quick adjustments while remaining discreet and unobtrusive. This setup makes it easy to move from unplugged playing to live performance, preserving the guitar’s clarity and character in amplified settings.
Signature Dove Appointments for Timeless Style
The Dove Studio features the classic visual elements that define this iconic design, including the dove-inlaid bridge and the signature pickguard with detailed Dove graphics. Multi-ply binding adds a refined, vintage-inspired touch, while the Kalamazoo-style headstock and split parallelogram inlays reinforce its heritage styling. Grover Rotomatic tuners provide stable, precise tuning, completing a design that balances visual identity with dependable performance.
