1968 Dove Double Pickguard

Premium 1968 Dove Natural Customized with Double Pickguard

Gibson / 1968 Dove Double Pickguard

This guitar has a rock 'n' roll look and is one of a kind.

Speaking of Gibson double pickguards, Bob Dylan can be seen playing a J-200 Sunburst with a double pickguard on stage at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, although it was a different model.
This premium model has also been popular among country musicians and the rock scene due to its spectacular appearance, including the Everly Brothers.

The one we have just received is a double pickguard by Dove, which is one of the rarest of all.
The thick tortoiseshell pickguard is decorated with the iconic "dove" in shiny pearl, and the flower pattern is also in red and green.
The two pieces on each side are symmetrically placed and harmonize beautifully.

The bridge is equipped with a Tune-O-Matic, which is unique to the 60s, and there is more than enough to see besides the pickguard.
These styles are exquisitely matched with the natural color with checkered finish, which is very cool and full of rock taste.

The neck is a late 60's narrow and thin shape.
The sound has a great propulsive force with a thumping sound pressure.
It is a good match for playing with a zing and power feel.
Both in looks and sound, this is a rock 'n' roll instrument.
