A Classic Reborn
One of the most enduring of Epiphone's designs, the Epiphone Riviera has made a comeback, with the Epiphone Riviera (Frequensator), finished in Royal Tan. Since its early '60s introduction, the Riviera has remained a player favourite, with its hollow-body design, and ES-style body shape that creates legendary tones by pairing perfectly with any pickup combination.
A nod to the original '60s era Rivieras, the Epiphone Riviera (Frequensator) features period-correct construction, hardware and finish, with a 3-layer pickguard with the classic metal Epiphone "E," frequensator tailpiece, mini humbuckers, and a layered Maple top, back and sides, which looks incredible finished in Royal Tan.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Epiphone Riviera (Frequensator), in Royal Tan, is a great way to get a legendary design, with vintage tones and mojo, but without the vintage price tag. The pair of Epiphone PRO Mini Humbuckers are a real standout.
