WTB - mini humbuckers for Epiphone Riviera and general upgrades
What's Hot
I have a lovely Epiphone Riviera with mini humbuckers and the frequensator tail piece. About 8 years old. Plays beautifully but would like to make it the best I can as a Gibson equivalent is so expensive!
Looking for some new pick ups to upgrade. Can anyone suggest any? I've heard the Seymour Duncan Antiquity's are very good.
Also are there any other upgrades people can recommend. Thinking possibly a bigsby. Are the pots and electrics worth doing also?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
John

Can you PM me the details of what loom I would need and the cost please.
Thanks!

Can I suggest finding out which magnets and impedance are in your current pickups and seeing how different from Gibson spec your Epiphone may be.
I agree that a loom may make a bigger difference. Other upgrades to consider would be tuners and bridge. I'm a sucker for brass saddles on a bridge - not sure if there is any proven-science on them or if its just mojo
I will look into the current pickups to see what spec they are.
Any ideas where I can find this information out?
Thinking maybe a bigsby would at some mojo? Which model would I need? Would prefer not to do drill into the body too much if possible.
