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.
The Fender Jaguar was the 1962 flagship: a 24-inch short scale, two single-coils fitted with notched metal sidewalls to cut hum and sharpen the treble, and separate lead and rhythm circuits with their own controls. It also carries a spring-loaded string mute at the bridge. Built for surf, it was rediscovered by alternative players who wanted its bright, wiry attack and the instability of its floating tremolo.
