  1. I saw 4 on sale at G-CLUB Shibuya for 110,000 YEN = 728.51 USD or 593.34 GBP not sure if that includes sales tax but for non-food purchases over 5000 yen usually tourists can be exempt from tax in the store or claim back easily at airport. So much cheaper than in the UK, I probably should have brought one home as hand luggage.

    3 were darker wine red colour, maybe from the second batch?

    I also saw an old Supernova in blue in another shop!

     

  2. I just noticed on mine, when the pickup selector is in middle position and bridge volume is max and neck volume is zero there is no output at all where as I would expect to hear the bridge pickup.

    I was wondering if it has always been that way since I bought it in 2012. Please can someone else check if theirs has same problem? If not then maybe I'll look into a warranty repair. I had success with that when I bought it and the gold was peeling off the pole pieces and they sent me a new pickup to transplant the pieces from (I have never modified the pickup wiring) Thanks

    Epiphone 50th Ann 1962 Sheraton E212T LE Cherr WC   

    Update : I found this post and it seems normal. When I turn bridge volume up and touch metal to the neck pole pieces I hear sounds so it seems mine does have this special wiring where only the neck volume is used for both pickups in middle position, very interesting.

  3. Store I went to said their allocated inventory is almost all preordered and it's showing as discontinued on their suppliers system which means they won't be getting any more. I'm beginning to doubt this is a core range guitar and more likely a limited edition. That isn't to say they do a non signature model next like happened with the Supernova->Riviera II.

    These preorders will take months to arrive and the signature 355 isn't even due til March.

  4. Glad to see extra info here! I swung by after spotting a Matsumoko Riviera in the background of a photo of Noel with the signature 355 worn so glad to hear it looks like it is coming!

    I'm so excited! Been waiting for years for a Matsumoko reissue and many posts on here about it. Maybe Cesar from Gibson has been reading? 😜

    I also found this screen grab from one of Cesar's videos on this rather spammy news article. I have been unable to find the original video maybe he deleted it.

  5. What do people think of the 2020 Epiphone Riviera Semi-hollowbody Sparkling Burgundy? Personally I don't see any difference between it and the 2011 Cherry. I preferred the Riviera a few years earlier where the headstock had the crown inlay, think that was Korean made.

    I really hope one day Epiphone reissue this 80's Japanese Matsumoko Riviera in Wine Red with full humbuckers, stop bar tail piece and crown inlay. I wouldn't mind modern top hat knobs instead of the vintage ones with large numbers. Also wouldn't mind a modern scratch place with silver E instead of the black small painted E.
