1980s Epiphone Japan Riviera MIJ Guitar

ON-HOLD… Excellent Epiphone Japan Riviera in dark tobacco sunburst finish! The guitar is over 40 years old and is nice and clean overall. This guitar is quite an excellent-playing and sounding guitar and it's no wonder artists like Noel Gallagher and Paul Benjamin Arthors of Oasis both used these Rivieras throughout their careers. Made in the old Matsumoku factory in Japan. This is as nice as any Gibson ES-335 of the era and likely surpasses many of them! The guitar is in very good condition with some light scratches on the back and some binding discoloration as shown. Comes with an old Yamaha hardshell case. Check out our website for more photos and other important info!
