Truly Astonishing Product
I recieved the Epiphone Dove Pro this week. The packaging was very well thought put and I am impressed by the recyclable cushioning material. The product box itself seemed to be faultless, and the guitar itself also, aling with all of the additional accessory bags etc. I would be very hard pressed to find any fault with this product or service from Thomann. I intended on playing one in person before purchase, but was unable to do so. When it arrived and I first laid my eyes on it, I couldn't have imagined it to be any better. Both what I expected and so much more in terms of construction quality and playability. If you are even slightly considering purchasing this guitar, then just do it. You will not regret it. Thomann's customer service is definitely amongst the best I have ever exerienced. The parcel tracking was helpful and accurate. Great respect to Thomann and their top notch service and proper care in protecting it during transit to my address. I eagerly await to see how it moulds to my playing style in the near future!

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.

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.

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.

EPIPHONE Dove Pro
I have now had my EPIPHONE Dove Pro for 10 months and I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. It ticks all of the boxes in terms of playability, tone, quality looks and sound output whether played acoustically or plugged in and using the easy to adjust tone & volume controls & built in freshman pickup are great. I took up playing as a mature guitarist just over 2 years ago and was looking for a guitar that would allow me to improve but still remain affordable. I did a lot of research before making my decision to buy and have no regrets! Thomann service & delivery was very good.

Fabulous all round!
Excellent guitar All round and flawless for the price range.
I own some high end guitars including Fender,Gibson and Guild,but this sounds the best by far,and build quality is superb.
I perform professionally as a solo acoustic player and it really does sound fantastic with the fishman pick up system.
Crafmanship on my Dove was perfect with a lovely finish all round.
Can't recommend enough.
Thomann perfect as always.

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.
