supernova1281734074 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hi, I have a Japanese 1983 Wine Red Matsomuka made Riviera-with the stop bar & full humbuckers, like Noel Gallaghers of Oasis,and looking for a different sounding Riviera. I'm on the lookout for a second hand Riviera with the frequensator tailpiece either with New York Mini Humbuckers - ideally a nice peerless Korean version before Epiphone made them in China /a Korean Nick Valensi model Riviera, or possibly an Elitist model Riviera. I live in England -and wondered if anyone had one of the above they might consider selling. I keep looking out for any of the above but don't seem to find any. Any help would be appreciated /or advice John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 This could be a solution......... http://www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_riviera_limited_edtion_ch.htm :) Peter Yeah, and it's even got the vintage correct (Riviera) inlay, in the headstock, for a change! I think they're Chinese made (probably Qingdao). If the quality is anything like my P-93 Riviera LE (Also Qingdao made), it should be outstanding! The body shape, looks to be more like the pre-'66 vintage ones, too. Wish we could get those, over here!!! ;>) Good luck! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongMan Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Wish we could get those' date=' over here!!! ;>)[/quote']Just got me one, see my other thread :) And to be honest: I prefer this one over the P-93 (which I considered to buy first, but then it suddenly was sold out before I made my decision). For me the dark cherry red finish and chrome hardware are a perfect mixture. It just looks gorgeous in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
