cymbaline87 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Like the title says...after pursuing one of these for a long time...I finally got one. A nice 2003 Epiphone Riviera Elite (Terada factory). I dont have the guitar yet...it should be arriving here next week...a friend is taking care/using it at the moment. Here in Argentina is quite a big deal 'cause the Elite and Elitist series were never available at music stores...so getting one is twice as hard than on any other place... this one in particular was purchased from an American guitarist that was touring here...the guitar is in excellent condition with a few cool mods..Bigsby system installed, no pickguard and changed truss rod cover... besides that...the guitar is all original. So...no more talk....and more action....here you have the pics.... Hope you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Awesome! Congratulations!! Elitist Riviera's are great, and not often sold, by their owners. Once they get one, they usually hang on to it. So, you're lucky...Enjoy it! Cheers, CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timandbob Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Looks fabulous! I've been in the first part of searching for an Elitist hollow body (the second part is convincing my wife that it is an important buy, once I find one[-x ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgrmatt Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 A rare bird indeed. It is absoloutely gorgeous! Congratulations!!! I've always heard Epi has quit making these because they didn't sell as well vs the Sheraton, Dot Casino,etc... but the Riviera is one of my all-time favorites, for me they feel better than anything that I have ever played. mgm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
