Epiphone Riviera Electric Guitar - Royal Tan

Our Take:

One go on Epiphone's revived Reviera, and you'll have no doubt why they've brought it back to shine on the stage and in the studio once more. Since its inception in the '60s, the Riviera has shown that it deserves to be included in the pantheon of legendary ES-style guitars - and this newly recreated version is no exception, with a highly resonant layered maple construction, LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ adjustable bridge and Frequensator tailpiece for crazy sustain, and a pair of Epiphone PRO Mini Humbuckers™ that bring out gorgeous semi-hollow tones!

Epiphone's Take:

The Epiphone Riviera, one of Epiphone’s original, most enduring classics makes a comeback! First introduced in the early ‘60s, the Epiphone Riviera’s semi-hollow design has been a favorite of players from all genres and generations including blues greats Robben Ford and Otis Rush, Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, and The Strokes’ Nick Valensi, who have all found that the Riviera’s legendary ES™ body shape can produce great tones with any pickup variation. This Riviera features a layered maple top back and sides, a 3-layer pickguard with the classic metal Epiphone “E”, and comes equipped with Epiphone's LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ adjustable bridge and Frequensator tailpiece.
