Epiphone Riviera Semi Hollow - Royal Tan

A ’60s Icon Returns!

The Epiphone Riviera—one of the brand’s earliest and most enduring classics—makes its long-awaited comeback. First released in the early 1960s, the Riviera’s semi-hollow construction has earned fans across genres and generations. Blues legends Robben Ford and Otis Rush, Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, and Nick Valensi of The Strokes have all turned to the Riviera, proving that its iconic ES™-style body delivers exceptional tone with virtually any pickup configuration.

This modern Riviera features a layered maple top, back, and sides, a three-ply pickguard adorned with the classic metal Epiphone “E,” and comes equipped with an Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Frequensator tailpiece. It’s available in Royal Tan and Sparkling Burgundy full-gloss finishes.

A hardshell or EpiLite™ case is available separately. Every instrument is backed by Epiphone’s Limited Lifetime Guarantee and Gibson Brands Customer Service.
