Feb 04, 2020 Looking at Epiphone's updated website, and under the 'archtop' page the only models they now have listed are: Casino Coupe Sheraton-II PRO Riviera Custom P93 Uptown Kat ES What's the story on the regular Casino, Broadway, and Joe Pass? They're nowhere to be found on the website. Jun 18, 2011 My friend is looking at buying a second electric guitar and I suggested the Epiphone Dot, which I know to be a good intermediate level guitar. He found on his own the Epiphone Riviera P93, which he loves and is seriously considering. If you were considering a guitar in this price range. Buy Epiphone Limited Edition Riviera Custom P93 Electric Guitar online. Gibson SG classic, or a Casino. I'm leaning toward the p93 just because I know it wont be.
1964-1969 Epiphone Riviera Headstock
Modern Epiphone Riviera Headstock
The Epiphone Riviera is a semi-acoustic, semi-hollow bodied guitar shaped similarly to a Gibson ES-335. The Riviera has a long history and was originally produced in the USA in from 1962 until 1969. The Riviera has also been produced in Japan by Matsumoku in the early 1980s and as part of the Elitist Series in the early 2000s. Epiphone Elitist models were made in Japan by Terada to an exceptionally high quality level for only a few years between 2001-2006. Currently the Riviera is made in Asia and is a budget alternative to Gibson guitars. The Riviera remains a popular reissue and limited edition guitar with original examples highly prized by players and collectors alike. Though the Riviera and all its variations were introduced under the ownership of the Gibson Guitar Corporation, Epiphone is the exclusive manufacturer. The Riviera comes from a wide stable of Epiphone semi-acoustics, such as the Dot, Sheraton and Casino.
