A gorgeous example of the Epiphone Riviera Custom in Wine Red with Soft Epiphone Bag. Very minor lacquer split around the nut which has been fully investigated and only goes as deep as the top coat of lacquer itself.
Three Alnico-V 'Dog Ear' P90 pickups, with individual tone control, serve as a nice middle ground between the growl and bite of a humbucker and thinner single coil tones. This Riviera Custom is a versatile semi-hollowbody that means business.
Originally introduced in the early '60s, the Riviera has served its time at the forefront of blues and jazz bands like many other semi acoustics from the Epiphone and Gibson lineup. Famous players include the likes of Otis Rush, Lou Reed and Nick Valensi, each adapting the Riviera to a wide range of genres and styles.
Hardware appointments include a Bigsby B70 tremolo, gold plating and parallelogram inlays which seal off a modern classic. If you want to stand out on stage and sound the part, this won't let you down!
