A stunning rarity from Epiphone Japan. 1981 Epiphone Riviera made in the incredible Matsumoku factory. These old Matsumoku built Epi's are beautifully crafted instruments that ooze class and cool. The dark transparent red finish on this thing is stunning; the pictures really don't do it justice!

This Riviera is essentially a 335 with an Epiphone logo, sporting dual humbuckers and a stopbar tailpiece. A real riff machine!
