Epiphone Riviara 1971 - Red Burst

This is a really good example of the 1971-1974 Epiphone EA-250 Riviara made in Japan.  It has the blue label so it was made during the time mentioned.  The guitar has one pin tip sized nick in the front (in picture hard to even see).  There is also a 1/4 inch little nick in horn near neck (also pictured).  It actually plays well but could use a setup by a good luthier.  There is some buckle rash one the back horn area (pictured) nothing through the paint.  the binding is really good and the frets only have visible wear in the cowboy chord area. The neck is wonderful very close to a 1961 Es330 neck.  This is a real bargain for the condition this is in.
