charlie brown Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sorry, those are "Riviera's" in NAME only. Bolt on necks, "wide paddle" (Gretschy) headstocks, non-traditional switch location, multiple binding, etc. "I say..No, No, No!" Might be an "ok" guitar, as such, but "it ain't no Riviera!"

BENT E Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sorry, without the mini bucker's it just ain't a Riv', just a DOT with a Frequensator tail piece... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_newton2001 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 That is what I bought but it had a really cheap tremolo on it. It is a project guitar right now. You have to watch these guitars alot of them the binding pulls apart right up by the neck on the top of the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_newton2001 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 It really is not all that great quality. I like the one I got. Thatred color though, in my opinion, is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdgails Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 these are crap. cheap. these arent the good matsumotos. These guitars are like those fake gibsons you see at wal mart, and in no way are REAL rivieras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayGLongBeach Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 never have I heard so much hatred for the EA250 than an Epi forum of all places. Funny, isn't it? Hey, Rob any chance you can post some photos of your EA250? Thanks, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dobbs Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Here is my EA250 prior to having a new tailpeice (diamond style), metal bridge (ala the old Gretsch's), new frets installed. I never cared for the lousy vibrato system they came with and barely ever use the bigsby's on my other guitars. Was the first guitar I ever got way back in late 80's. The neck is true, action is great and the tone is awesome. Cant wait to get it back and take new pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayGLongBeach Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Dude! Very nice! I never realized it also had the block inlays. I own a few Gretsches and the headstock is very similar. Make sure you post the new pics when you get it back... I'm not sure if i will be doing any mods on mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
