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 entry covers a 1958 Fender Telecaster with no specific documented owner attached. By 1958 the Telecaster had settled into its classic form: an ash or alder body, a maple neck often finished with a distinctive slab-cut rosewood fingerboard that Fender introduced mid-decade, and the model's original bridge and neck single-coil pickups wired through a three-way selector. Guitars from this window are prized by collectors for the combination of a still-lightweight body and the newly introduced rosewood board, which many players feel adds a touch of warmth to the classic bright, cutting Telecaster voice without losing its fundamental character.
