Suspiciousminds Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi all, I've just bought this epiphone riviera - could anyone give me any info about it please. Its got the limited edition custom shop logo on the rear of the headstock. Any ideas how many were made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPS1976 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 no way to really tell how many were actually made. they were an actual limited run though. currently the Riviera Black Royale is listed as out of production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspiciousminds Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Ahh, I thought it might be - all i can find is the one with gold hardware. Anyone have any opinions on them? Good? Bad etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Folks here that have them LOVE them ! limited edition doesn't really mean much.... different color/hardware/electronics etc. all constitute L/E to Epi. Epi also has a habit of discontinuing models only to begin making them again a yr or 2 later.....I have 2 of this type. custom shop.....is just a sticker......from a different assy. line in the same factory the "standards" are made in. VERY nice guitar nonetheless !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspiciousminds Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Just had a look on the link, Wow, that Emperor swingster looks fantastic! I fancy changing the dogesr covers on mine to nickel or chrome though - i think that would look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspiciousminds Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Taking into consideration the extra p90, how does this compare soundwise to the casino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vomer Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Taking into consideration the extra p90, how does this compare soundwise to the casino? Got to consider first of all that the Riv has a centre block like a 335 or Sheraton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
