WTB: Epiphone Riviera

tele69

Long shot this really but I quite fancy a mini humbucker Riviera.. I think my budget might only stretch to Elitist but you never know, Happy to consider oldie player grade.. or a 93 USA reissue would be great. Not looking for a Korean one .. I have a Peerless.. 
thank folks

Have you tried the new 2020 ones? I have a Sparkling burgundy one and its better than any of the older ones Ive had including the Nick Valensi.

I haven’t tbh. I just thought I’d spend a few more quid unnecessarily

Imagine that being your reply to what I saw was a helpful comment.

Cheers Mark.. I’m gonna hold out for higher end one. My peerless Riv is doing a great job. Epiphone are making good guitars it seems

The new model is very good, I wouldn’t discount it.

Have you looked at the Japan Auctions? Bit of a pain importing and paying taxes, but a quick look yielded this one:

or even closer to your spec...
