'64 Riviera - relaxing...

hi folks, Very cool to have this new forum, thanks AV for setting it up!

Here is my prized '64 Riviera.

I'd love to see photos of others from this era...

Gorgeous. Love that creamy white pickguard against that luscious sunburst.

I'm a Sheraton owner, but one of the things that set me on a quest to get one was hearing a couple of great recordings* where Rivieras were actually used. I had heard them years ago, but it wasn't until more recently that I heard them again and knew I had to have an Epi semi with mini-hb's. I opted to go for a Sheraton, but for that sound, a Riviera is just as great!

*One of them was this album, which I highly recommend:

Here's my baby...I've owned three 1962-63 short headstock Rivieras and this is the best of the lot...a "to the grave" guitar because I am unlikely to find a better example. I used it on 10/12 tracks on our band's CD. :mrgreen:

Love it. Sometimes I wish that my Sheraton had a white guard...

Interesting to note the change from black knobs to gold apparently in 1964! :ugeek:
