The Epiphone Riviera is a semi-hollow body electric guitar delivering warm, articulate tone with smooth response. Its premium construction and responsive pickups provide excellent tonal clarity. The Riviera appeals to jazz and blues players seeking warm tone.
This 1962 Fender Telecaster in silver sparkle is a custom-colour example from the pre-CBS era, the period before Fenders 1965 sale to CBS that collectors generally regard as the peak of the original build quality and specification. Sparkle finishes were a novelty custom-order option drawing on drum-shell material rather than Fenders standard automotive-derived DuPont colour range, making surviving examples considerably rarer than a stock blonde or sunburst Telecaster from the same year. It is associated in this catalogue with Brad Paisley.
