I have searched for what I would consider the perfect guitar for a long time. I have had strats, teles, les pauls, jaguars, and prior to this the two guitars that felt best to me was my Gibson SG Classic and Japanese Fender Jaguar. Originally I had been looking at a Casino (always wanted a semi-hollow) and somehow stumbled across this... and if all went well I would not have to replace some crappy stock pickups. Anyways, the guitar came (bought from a different source), action was a bit high and [understandably] the guitar had extremely heavy gauge strings on it - maybe 12's but they felt like 13's to me. Anyways, I put some 10's on it, adjusted the action and intonation and am blown away. For someone looking for a quality semi-hollow on a budget like me and that records a lot while enjoying playing multiple styles that needs a versatile guitar this is GREAT. Mine was MIK if it matters to anyone - I don't like buying Chinese stuff on principle. This guitar is very versatile and can cover many genres with the exception of crushing scooped metal... matter of fact I just recorded a jazz track with it and it sounded great (normally I record and write atmospheric, ambient, guitar driven instrumentals). Gibson P-94's, Frequensator, and Grovers tuners leave little to be replaced.

The Epiphone Nick Valensi Riviera is inspired by the Strokes' guitarist's beloved '90's Riviera that is such an important part of his sound. He installed Gibson P-94 pickups in his, because of the classic super-single-coil sound that fits in a Humbucker space. We've done the sam with this model and the tonal results are equally as awesome. The body is authentic 90's Riviera 5-ply Maple semi-hollow construction with a 1-piece Mahogany neck fitted with a Tune-o-matic bridge and vintage Epiphone Frequensator split-trapeze tailpiece.Cosmetics include parallelogram fingerboard inlays with the body finished in Antique Natural.
