Epiphone Dove Studio Reviews

The Dove

At its price point, it is a steal. Wonderful bright tone, strong voice, the Dove is a hummingbird on steroids... as an acoustic guitar for blues and rock (especially for rock) it is perfect.

Great Vintage looking acoustic

Easy to play and well build acoustic. Feature wise the solid top and the pïezo are great additions at this price point. It's a bargain.

A Great Acoustic for Beginners and Intermediate Players.

The Epiphone acoustics that are in the medium price range ie: Hummingbird, Dove, J200,s, are always solid instruments and it's very rare to find one that's sub par.

The Dove Pro is no exception to that rule, as it plays perfectly straight out of the box, the action was low, no truss rod adjustments needed and the playability was great all over the neck.

I always recommend people who are looking for a good guitar to start or upgrade to, to purchase an Epiphone acoustic.

As they look and play like they are far beyond their price point.

If you are considering buying an Epiphone Dreadnought, than you can't go wrong with the Dove Pro or Hummingbird Pro.

Nice Guitar

For a start this guitar looks great. It also sounds very good,through both Acoustic Mode and Amplifier.Action is good.The only con is the positioning of the battery,which is inside the guitar itself and hard to access.

In summary this is a very good guitar,good value and a perfect mid entry guitar.

Looks great, feels great, and sounds great.

I've been contemplating to get an acoustic-electric from Epiphone for quite a while now and I just couldn't decide whether to buy a Hummingbird Pro or a Dove Pro since I have yet to physically test them out and I've only watched video reviews on Youtube. I wanted an affordable guitar that would sound great both plugged and unplugged so I decided to just buy them both and sell the one that I don't want. I settled for the Dove Pro namely because of two reasons: electronics and overall sound. This thing sounds great when it is plugged in! You can hear the steel-ness of the strings thanks to the Fishman pickup and when unplugged, it has that full, thick dreadnought tone compared to a thinner sound from the Hummingbird Pro. For the money, this guitar is worth every penny.

Epi Dove Pro..poor fret finish but good value..

Arrived very well packed yesterday.

Early days yet to say how the Dove will sound in a band- but the overall build and sound excellent. Loud bright and full of tone.

Set up quite well- but lowered the bridge slightly. Neck pretty straight.

The biggest issue was the badly finished frets which I have now polished 3 times and they are a lot smoother now. They were not polished before packing and I don't know how the guitar passed quality control.

Fretboard was dry -but a couple of coats of lemon oil has helped address that.

Switched strings to my usual Martin custom lights and it's now ready to play.

Plastic bridge saddle a little cheap looking and a little loose-an obvious upgrade on the cards.

Electrics seem to work well and I personally like the simplicity of one tone/one volume.

Nice quality tuners.

A little closer to orangeburst rather than violinburst -but that will change/fade with time.

Once played in solid top should only improve.

So despite a few issues quite impressive value for money.

Great looks and great sound at a great price!

Looks like the Gibson original and sounds nearly as good... atleast at a tenth of a price. Pickguard needs a gloss varnish coat to keep the paint. Original strings is a joke - as always. Changed them for Elixir Nanoweb Costum Light - spot on.
