Up for sale is my 65/66 Kalamazo Riviera USA. 
Lovely old guitar in exceptionally good condition.  No breaks, repairs or modifications. It sounds epic. It’s had the Robben Ford stop tail mod and it improves the sound vastly. I have two and this one wins on tone. It’s had a refret before my ownership. It plays beautifully too.  Pots date 65’  I m sure it’s an early 66 though. 40 mm nut. The neck carve isn’t as thin as it’s 335 brother. It lives in a TKL case. 
It’s a beautiful thing but i like a tremolo and my other one has that.
was £4750 now £4250
North East England.
thanks  for looking!

    Looks like a twin brother to my original Riviera - Like yours it has had a refret - I had it professionally done by Steve Robinson - Manchester Guitar Tech and it has seriously enhanced the whole playability - Mine still has the original trapeze tail piece - Maybe if I was a pro player I might go for the stop tail mod - But for me it would be over kill for the bedroom - Great guitar and IMO a good price at under 5K - Affordable vintage guitar, that is fairly rare, loaded with character - GLWTS

    Thanks for that, appreciated. Yeah it’s a cool old thing. I think the changes with frets and stop tail are acceptable and functional mods. Perhaps kills the originality for some but at the same time it maybe stops the worry out of taking it out and using it. The stop tail difference with my other 66 Riv with a Tremolo is quite substantial I’m probably selling the wrong one!

    1965 Epi Frontier? It has a jack hole on the lower bout but otherwise in very good shape and sounds killer!
