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 1959 Fender Telecaster with no specific documented owner attached, sitting a year after the model's introduction of the slab rosewood fingerboard and carrying the same ash or alder body, dual single-coil layout, and three-way switching that had defined the Telecaster since its earliest years. Guitars from this specific year are closely watched by collectors because Fender was on the verge of switching to a thinner veneer rosewood board application in the early 1960s, making late-50s slab-board examples like this one a distinct, sought-after sub-era rather than interchangeable with slightly later production.
