Gibson Frank Hannon Love Dove
The new Gibson Love Dove acoustic is the company’s first signature model for Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon and is based on his ’70s model. The guitar utilises a special thermally-aged Sitka spruce top, with maple back and sides, and looks stunning in its Vintage Cherry Sunburst finish. Each guitar is signed by Hannon himself, and comes with a custom “Love” engraved truss rod cover in Hannon’s own handwriting.

’70s Style
The guitar has a traditional hand scalloped X-bracing, a three-piece maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. The ‘70s-era Dove bridge with scalloped wings is also decorated with mother-of-pearl wing inlays, making it a bit of a looker. Especially with the intricately hand-engraved and painted ‘Dove’ pickguard, which really states the look and styling of this model.
