Description

In the 1960s, some dealers were Gibson, and others were Epiphone. The were Epiphone equivalent models of Gibsons that were made right along side each other in Kalamazoo. This Epiphone Riviera is essentially an ES-335; the main differences being the factory tremolo and mini-hum buckers. This example was refinished at some point in its life and required a back plug/patch from a control cavity modification. This one is an excellent player thanks to a recent refret and a replacement bridge.
