Description Brand: Epiphone By Gibson Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan Model: Custom Body Type: Hollow String Configuration: 6 String Body Color: Sunburst Dexterity: Right-Handed
Very nice Epiphone Riviera (EA-250) hollow body Guitar. Made in Japan. A true hollowbody. A desirable model from this era because conventional humbuckers will fit. It is also desirable because it is very light at 6 pounds, 7 ounces. This was definitely one of my "keepers" but have to thin the herd. Approximately 24.75" from nut to bridge. Approximately 15-1/2" wide at lower bout. Right hand. Both pickups work great. Electronics have been tested and work. May be some slight scratchiness in pots, switch and/or jack from storage. Some very light scuffs or scratches on body. Maybe a few teeny tiny nicks on body. Body is very clean. A few tiny guitar stand/play marks on back of neck. Small repaired finish chip on face of headstock next to G tuner bushing. Has a quality vintage look. Light fret wear. Plenty of meat on frets. As with every single Japanese Epiphone hollowbody that I have seen from this era, this one has a small bit of binding separation at top of body next to both sides of neck pocket. The area for this one is definitely one of the best I have seen (why I have had it in my collection for so long). These are rather delicate guitars and should always be de-tuned before storage. The pickups have a unique sound. Again, they can be swapped out with most standard humbuckers. Includes used chipboard case that will do a great job of protection during shipping. Case is in good condition but guitar deserves a better case. A very nice example of this model. Photos are part of the description so please view them carefully. Please ask any questions that you need to. Shipping is for lower 48. Contact me for availability and shipping rates before you bid, offer or buy if you live elsewhere.
