Epiphone Riviera - Royal Tan- EORRTNH
First introduced in the early 60s, the Epiphone Riviera's semi-hollow design has been a favourite of players from all genres and generations including blues greats Robben Ford and Otis Rush, Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, and The Strokes' Nick Valensi, who have all found that the Riviera's legendary ES™ body shape can produce great tones with any pickup variation. This Riviera features a layered maple top back and sides, a 3-layer pickguard with the classic metal Epiphone E, and comes equipped with Epiphone's LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ adjustable bridge and Frequensator tailpiece.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Hollow or semi-hollow construction adding organic resonance and three-dimensional depth. Natural acoustic properties allowing enjoyable unplugged practice. Exceptional recording characteristics capturing richness solid-bodies can't match. A tonal versatility spanning jazz, blues, rock, indie, and beyond.
Roll the tone knob back to 6 and play through a tube amp at moderate gain - the natural resonance of the hollow body adds a woody warmth and depth to your tone that will transform how you experience guitar. That's the sweet spot.
A semi-hollow or hollow guitar delivers warmth and tonal complexity that solid-body instruments simply cannot match. You feel the resonance in your hands and hear it through the amp as a richer, more three-dimensional tone. From Freddie King's blues to Larry Carlton's fusion to Noel Gallagher's anthems, these instruments add soul to every note. It's the kind of guitar that makes you play more musically.
