AldoMcD1 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I have found out that my local guitar store has just received a pre-owned Riviera. I'm going to view it tomorrow and wanted to know what sort of price range the guitar should go for? I have no other details on this until I see it in person.
charlie brown Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 OK...Given those limitations...from $400-600(recent Asian) to $4-5,000+(USA '60's Vintage). Obviously, photos will help (a lot) narrowing the gap. ;>) CB
ne_buddy Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Recent Elitist Rivieras (MIJ) go from $700 to $1100.
AldoMcD1 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Thank's for the replies. Had a look today - very nice guitar. It had some general fretwear and had two dings - one at the tailpiece and one above one of the 'F' holes. The retailer was selling for £400 (approx $570) with an Epiphone elite hard case. I took a note of the serial number (R06120157) The guitar was manufactured at the Korean Peerless plant in December 2006. I've decided to leave it for now as the dings have put me off a little. However, I thought that it was a decent price for a guitar which has been discontinued.
charlie brown Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Always a good idea, if it just doesn't "do it," or "feel right," for you! There will be others. In fact, there's an "Elitist" Riviera (Red) on E-bay, right now (02-18-09)! CLEAN, too!! CB
