Epiphone Riviera Semi-Hollow – A 60s Classic Returns

The legendary Epiphone Riviera returns, bringing one of Epiphone’s most enduring designs back to a new generation of guitarists. Originally introduced in the early 1960s, the Riviera quickly became known for its distinctive semi-hollow construction, versatile tone and iconic ES-style body shape.

Over the years, the Epiphone Riviera has been embraced by influential players across blues, rock and alternative music, including Robben Ford, Otis Rush, Lou Reed of The Velvet Underground and Nick Valensi of The Strokes. Its versatile design and semi-hollow character make the Riviera a highly adaptable electric guitar for a wide range of playing styles.

Classic Semi-Hollow Design

The Epiphone Riviera features a layered maple top, back and sides, combining classic construction with the distinctive look and feel associated with the Riviera. Its semi-hollow body delivers a naturally resonant response that works beautifully for everything from warm blues and jazz tones to punchy rock and indie sounds.

A three-layer pickguard with the classic metal Epiphone “E” adds an authentic vintage-inspired touch, complementing the Riviera's unmistakable styling.

Reliable Hardware and Classic Appointments

The Riviera is fitted with an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic adjustable bridge for reliable intonation and tuning stability. A traditional Frequensator tailpiece completes the classic Riviera aesthetic while helping provide a comfortable and responsive playing experience.

Available in striking Royal Tan and Sparkling Burgundy gloss finishes, the Epiphone Riviera combines vintage-inspired styling with modern reliability.

A Versatile Epiphone Classic

Whether you're playing blues, rock, indie, alternative or jazz, the Epiphone Riviera semi-hollow electric guitar offers the distinctive character and versatility that have made this model a favourite since the 1960s.
