Description Brand: Epiphone Dexterity: Right-Handed Model: Riviera String Configuration: 6 String MPN: E 360 TD-C Exact Year: 1969 Body Type: 335 double cut away semi hollow Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Series: Bigsby factory installed
This is a guitar to be played not really for collecting. The head stock break and professional repair hinders any real collectors value. That being said it plays and sustains solidly. Please examine the photos and feel free to ask any questions. It is one of the last Kalamazoo made Riviera's. Serial number 542822. Perhaps the first thing you'll notice is that the back of the guitar is in very good condition as well as the face. Only minor/small nicks and dings. The Bigsby was a factory install per the request of the original owner. To my knowledge the original owner ordered the guitar from the factory this way. I am the second owner. The roller saddles make it stay flawlessly in tune. The new Kluson period correct tuners are smooth as silk. The frets are new and the fret board has been leveled to a 12 degree radius. A new bone nut has also been installed. The neck is showing that some of the finish has been played through between the 3rd and 5th frets. New Rio Grande aged Baby Bucker pickups are installed with an Emerson period correct wiring harness. I understand that my opinion is my opinion. This guitar however plays and sounds amazing! It will ship in a modern SKB contoured hard shell flight case. It is well below the market value. My one and only reason for selling it is I simply need to pay some bills. I am an eBay member since 2008 with a 100% feedback rating! Bid with confidence. So for shipping in the USA only $50.00. Outside the USA it ranges from $275.00 to $545.00 depending on the country of destination. Don't let this one slip away!
