Epiphone Original Riviera - royal tan

The Epiphone Riviera is an iconic guitar that offers the perfect blend of tradition and modern performance. Known for its versatility and rich tone, it appeals to both beginner guitarists and experienced musicians alike.

Overview

The Epiphone Original Archtops Collection Riviera (EORRTNHR) is a high-quality alternative to the Gibson ES-335, prized by blues and rock artists. Manufactured in the United States between 1962 and 1969, it has been reintroduced periodically—notably in the 1980s and 2000s—while retaining the same tonal character that made it a success.

High-quality construction for a versatile tone

Featuring a maple and poplar body, a set mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard, the Riviera excels in a variety of musical styles, including blues, pop, jazz, classic rock, and hard rock. Its 24.75-inch scale length and 22 frets provide a smooth and enjoyable playing experience.

Mini Humbucker PRO pickups for rich, detailed tones

Equipped with Epiphone Mini Humbucker PRO pickups, this guitar draws inspiration from the legendary models developed by Gibson in the 1960s. These pickups deliver warm, dynamic tones while adding brightness and precision thanks to their narrow magnetic field. You can easily adjust the tone using the independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, allowing for optimal customization.
