1965 Epiphone Riviera
Built in Kalamazoo, Michigan, this 1965 Epiphone Riviera is finished in Royal Tan and remains in exceptionally clean condition. Epiphone’s counterpart to the Gibson ES-335, the Riviera shares essentially the same construction while adding its own appointments: a Frequensator tailpiece and two patent-sticker mini-humbuckers.
As an early 1965 example, it features the wider and particularly sought-after 42 mm nut width. It's also freshly refretted so the playability is excellent. The guitar sounds every bit as good as it looks — the model is famously associated with Robben Ford, who is well known for his affection for a 60's Rivieras. Comes with its original silver Epiphone soft case.
