Epiphone Riviera (Frequensator Tailpiece) in Royal Tan
The Epiphone Riviera, one of Epiphone's original and most enduring classics, has made a comeback. First introduced in the early '60s, the Riviera's semi-hollow design has been a favorite among players from all genres and generations, including blues legends Robben Ford and Otis Rush, Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, and The Strokes' Nick Valensi. They have all found that the Riviera's legendary ES™ body shape produces 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.
