The Epiphone Riviera is one of the most iconic semi-hollow electric guitars ever produced, combining timeless 1960s styling with exceptional versatility and outstanding build quality. This Royal Tan example is presented in mint condition and includes the original Epiphone hard case, making it an excellent choice for collectors and players alike.

Part of the Epiphone Original Collection, the Riviera delivers the airy resonance of a semi-hollow body while maintaining excellent sustain and impressive feedback resistance thanks to its solid maple centre block. The pair of Epiphone PRO Mini Humbuckers provide a wonderfully articulate voice with sparkling cleans, rich blues tones and plenty of bite for classic rock and indie styles.

Finished in the stunning Royal Tan gloss, this Riviera is fitted with the distinctive Frequensator tailpiece, LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and vintage-style nickel hardware, perfectly capturing the look and feel of the original early-1960s models.

Supplied complete with a genuine Epiphone hard case, this guitar is ready for its next owner.
