Select Spruce Tonewood
The Dove Studio Acoustic/Electric has a beautiful Violinburst colour finish and features a solid spruce top with 5-ply white and black binding. Spruce is a rich and complex tonewood that begins to breath and improve with age the more its played. The more you play, the better it sounds!
The body back and sides are made from select maple for a punchy, bright tone. The body back has single ply white binding. The hard maple 25.5" scale neck has a SlimTaper "D" profile and is glued to the body using a dovetail joint and TitebondTM glue.
The Indian Laurel fingerboard has singly ply white binding and features a 12' radius with 20 medium frets, a 1.68 nut, and pearloid parallelogram inlays.
