ant7629 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hey guys Anyone any idea where I can get my hands on a Riviera? I am seriously gassing for one after watching one on ebay go because I didn't bid high enough. I called a place in Germany who said they could order me one in, but it would take until the end of November. Plus, I thought they had been discontinued....++ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 A P93 Riviera, or a fixed-tail dual-humbucker Riviera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianh Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well, the mini HB versions are rarer than hen's teeth even here in the states. I know there is at least one member that has one that is to die for. I bought a mint standard Riviera off Craigslit a few months ago for very reasonable $$, so they are around, you just need to be patient and keep trolling I think: But the P93s are in current production, just not being distributed in Europe although I know at least two forum members have managed to get them across the pond without damage. Perhaps they will chime in here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant7629 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks Brian. That's a real beauty you have there! I am completely in love with those tailpieces. I like the P93 version too, its just that the mini-bucker version would be my first choice. I wish I had gone the extra mile and bought the one I saw on ebay now: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/epiphone-RIVIERA-semi-acoustic-electric-guitar-Cherry_W0QQitemZ180418128243QQcmdZViewItem#ht_10443wt_1167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eor Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 i think the standard and elitist versions or the mini hummed riviera are equally (un)common. somewhat more common (but still not common) would be an elitist sheraton, which is kinda the same thing. you're looking for a six string and not a 12er, right? because, for whatever reason, the 12ers seem much more common.

I love 12 stringers, but I already own a couple and they can kinda limit your playing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant7629 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 get a look on here.......... http://www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_riviera_limited_edtion_ch.htm Peter That's the place who said they could have one by the end of November. Can't see how if they have been discontinued though. Do Epiphone still make special orders? Maybe worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 E-bay has two Mini-humbucker versions, right now (10-14-09). 1 Korean, and 1 Vintage. There's a P-93 w/case, too...but, the asking price is a bit "steep." CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant7629 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks CB. I tried that Korean one, but the guy won't send over the pond unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS90 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I may be tempted to part with my Elitist sheraton, it has minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
