mgrmatt Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 After a long search I was able to finally get a Riviera, it's a 06 MIK Peerless Plant. After a little tweaking and a new set of strings she plays like a dream! Matt
brad1 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Congrats Matt! She looks really nice! Bet she sounds just as good!
Billy Dean Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Great looking guitar. I'm looking into getting one as well. How are the necks on these compared to the Dots?
mgrmatt Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 Thanks guys! BD, The neck is not as thick as a DOT, it's very similar to a Casino just with better fret acess. Matt
charlie brown Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Yeah...Rivieras! Great! Congratulations! I love mine! How do you like the "Mini-humbuckers?" Or, have you played it at sufficient volume to be able to tell, yet? CB
jcwillow777 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Congrats, very nice. <----- I love minis, great sounding pickups.
mgrmatt Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 Yeah CB I've been able to test it at volume a bit. This is my first venture with mini-humbucker, So far the clarity and definition I get at high volume is cool. It's also the first guitar that I've strung with a frequensator tailpiece, that was a little different. Matt
KYSohn Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Congrats!!! HNGD to you, Matt!!! Cherry is my favorite color for a 335 type bodied guitars, and your Rivieras looks GREAT!!!
mgrasso Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Beautiful, simply beautiful. They should start to reissue these in different finishes. The P-93 was nice, but these are close to the originals.
matiac Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Hey Matt, Mat here. She's a sweety for sure! Play it until your fingers bleed. Nice guitar...makin' me jealous over here...
Gashole Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Wow....why do they waste their time on the metal guitars when they have this to offer?! Beautiful guitar...man I want one...
mgrmatt Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 I know what your saying, Epiphone has released a Riviera II Special ed. in Japan in Red, VS,blk and Met Blue that I would love to have but they are not allowed to ship new Epi product to the US bummer.........
animalfarm Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 SWEEEEEET!!! I want one! Mind if I send "my boys" over to "help" you carry it?
TWANG Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 well. I've got a sheri and a dot and an lp.. now you've made me want a Riv, too. *add riv to list with wildkat* congrats! Very good looking guitar! TWANG
