Epiphone Riviera Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar - Sparkling Burgundy

Epiphone Riviera Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar - Sparkling Burgundy

The Epiphone Riviera, introduced in the early 1960s, has been a favorite among guitarists across various genres, including blues legends Robben Ford and Otis Rush, as well as Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground. Its semi-hollow design offers a harmonious blend of warm, resonant tones and solidbody sustain, making it a versatile choice for diverse musical styles. The Sparkling Burgundy finish adds a touch of elegance to its classic aesthetic.

The Riviera features a layered maple body and top, producing a bright, articulate sound. The solid center block enhances sustain and reduces feedback, ensuring clarity even at higher volumes. The mahogany neck with a Rounded "C" profile and Indian laurel fingerboard provides a comfortable playing experience, while the 12" fingerboard radius facilitates smooth note bending and chording. Equipped with Epiphone PRO Mini Humbucker pickups, the Riviera delivers a range of tones from warm cleans to biting leads. The Frequensator tailpiece not only adds to its vintage charm but also contributes to enhanced string tension and sustain. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
