GIBSON Epiphone Riviera

The Epiphone Riviera, favored by musicians across genres since the early '60s, boasts the legendary ES™ body shape and delivers superb tones with diverse pickup configurations.  Blues icons like Robben Ford and Otis Rush, Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, and Nick Valensi of The Strokes have all played this guitar. This semi-hollow guitar features a layered maple top, back, and sides, and a 3-layer pickguard with the classic metal Epiphone "E." It comes equipped with Epiphone's LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ adjustable bridge and Frequensator tailpiece, and is available in a Sparkling Burgundy full gloss finish.
