The Gibson Dove
...Is a flattop Steel-string acoustic guitar made by Gibson Guitar Corporation. First made in 1962 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, it was Gibson's second square-shouldered dreadnought (based on the Martin D-style dreadnought), after the introduction of the Gibson Hummingbird in 1962. Both guitars have solid spruce tops and engraved pickguards. The Dove has solid maple back and sides instead of the solid mahogany used for the Hummingbird, and the Dove has a longer scale length (25.5" vs 24.75"). The Dove's longer scale length and maple back and sides make it a louder, brighter guitar than the Hummingbird. The double parallelogram fingerboard inlays, the two doves on the bridge, and the dove on the pickguard are mother of pearl. The Dove has factory installed active electronics powered by a 9-volt battery. The original Doves had Gibson's tune-o-matic bridge. While the tune-o-matic bridge seemed like a technological improvement at the time, the metal bridge had negative effects on tone and volume. The Scotty Moore web site has photos of several different Dove bridge types; tune-o-matic, adjustable, and fixed. In 1968 the internal bracing of the Dove was made heavier;[2] while this made a sturdier guitar that was less likely to be returned to Gibson for warranty work, the volume of the guitar was reduced and the tone suffered.[3] In 1985 Gibson's new owners began to address the quality issues that were affecting the company's products and reputation. By 1992 production of Gibson acoustic guitars was shifted to Bozeman, Montana. While until recently Gibson said the Dove was the "Legendary 1962 model with all the original details!" , in 2007 the Dove became one of Gibson's Modern Classics. Among the features of the Modern Classics are "Big Sky" radiused fingerboard edge, bone nut, and Tusq saddle. Since it's been stated that?'The Modern Classics are designed for the contemporary player...we are convinced these are also the most playable acoustic guitars available today'...[and have] The industry?s lowest action and finest playability ?,these new model Doves will be easier to play but have a bit less volume and projection than the older models (although the improved nut and saddle materials may offset that somewhat). For a number of years the Dove has been a Custom Shop instrument available in special limited runs.

Gibson 'has been my life'


Mark Bugnaski / Gazette
At her home workshop, Maudie Moore holds a Gibson Dove that she worked on in the late 1960s. She began working at the Gibson guitar plant in Kalamazoo in 1964 and still does engraving and inlaying for guitars on a contract basis.

COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP -- About as soon as Maudie Moore saw someone engraving the brass and truss rod covers for a Gibson guitar, her life changed.
"After I saw that, that was what I really wanted to do," Moore said.
Moore, now 67, started working at the Gibson Guitar Co. on Sept. 30, 1964, at age 23. Ten months into the job, she was working as a buffer when she saw a woman engraving. It took Moore four more years of working at the legendary guitar-making facility at 225 Parsons St., in Kalamazoo, before she was elevated to her coveted position as a Gibson engraver.





There was only one engraver at a time. When the job opened, people would vie for it.
Almost 40 years after getting the job, Moore is still at it, although now she does it on a contract basis. From her garage in Comstock Township, Moore does guitar engraving and inlaying for companies that include Gibson, which now operates from Nashville, Tenn. Moore even uses the same stool she sat on during her days at the Kalamazoo plant.
Gibson Inc. ships boxes of work to her regularly, she said. She's worked on guitars for Wayne Newton, Bill Monroe and Billy Idol, among others.

Shown at her home workshop, Maudie Moore began working at the Gibson guitar plant in Kalamazoo in 1964 and still does engraving and inlaying for guitars on a contract basis.

One of her favorite stories of working in the Gibson plant involves bluegrass legend Bill Monroe.
In the early '60s, Monroe sent his legendary mandolin to Gibson for repairs. When he got it back, he was unhappy with the changes and scratched the Gibson logo off of the mandolin. It became a public rift that lasted for years.
In 1979 or 1980, the company persuaded Monroe that it could make things right, and Moore was one of five people assigned to work on the mandolin.
She loved bluegrass music and was especially fond of Monroe, a fellow Kentucky native who had played a concert in the early '50s in her hometown of Campton, Ky. Moore did much of her portion of the repair work on his mandolin at her home. The job was a success, and Monroe was satisfied.
"I was more excited about Bill Monroe than any of the other projects I worked on," Moore said, "simply for the fact that I grew up in Kentucky hearing Bill Monroe."
Moore has more Gibson pictures than you can see in an afternoon and more stories than you can hear in a day.

"The Gibson Guitar Company has been my life," she said.
