The main differences between the models were the Epiphone mounted the brand's proprietary mini-humbucking pickups, with different fingerboard inlay and a narrower headstock. The overall feel is very similar, while sonically the Epiphone has a somewhat brighter character due to its narrower-coil pickups. While never approaching the longtime ubiquity of its Gibson brother, the Rivera was a fairly popular guitar when new and found favor with several major blues players, most notably Otis Rush and Magic Sam (when not wielding a Stratocaster!). This is a lovely sunburst finish example and a versatile, excellent playing guitar for many styles with a nice bright ringing quality to the sound sometimes missing from similar Gibsons from this period.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 43 1\/2 in. (110.5 cm.), 16 in. (40.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 5\/8 in. (4.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 18 13\/16 in. (478 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1\/2 in. (38 mm.). Very nice condition overall, an excellent player with only some fairly minor wear. There are some parts-related restorations-the original tuners have been refitted; the headstock shows compression rings where something else was fitted at some point but the restoration is very clean. The back of the headstock appears to have a light overspray related to this work. The pickguard is a correct reproduction, down to the \"E\" epsilon logo. This is a great sounding and playing Riviera, with just some light checking and minor dings and dents to show for its 50 years on the planet! Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853492736140,"sku":"7776","price":3350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_5200c44c-78d3-464f-b012-9a38868a4199.jpg?v=1774340180","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/epiphone-riviera-e-360td-arch-top-semi-hollow-body-electric-guitar-1967-7776","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
