fast Eddie Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 pics would help.... the MiJ Riviera for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) were built from 1975-1979, the ones for worldwide Distribution were built from 1980-1984 (both at Matsumoku) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Bolt-on neck would make it an EA-250 or EA-255 http://epiphonewiki.com/index.php/EA-Series Rivieras always had set-necks...AFAIK http://epiphonewiki.com/index.php/Riviera Understood, but they were/are sometimes designated "Casino's or "Rivieras" still, even so. Especially, by the "seller's!" So, I was "just checkin'"! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie1281734003 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 A seven digit serial (On back of h/stock) would fit in with the Riviera being made by Matsumoku Japan. 41xxx16 would make it either Oct/Nov/Dec of 1984. As others have said, photo`s would help. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
