NGD Turquoise Riviera

So, I don't post very often, but just had to share. Short back story. In 1997 I bought a brand new Epiphone Casino, in this turquoise finish. Loved the guitar, excellent quality from the Peerless factory. In a moment of stupidity, I traded it in at my local guitar shop for a new Ibanez 7 string. Within a year or so I regretted it, but never saw the guitar again.

Well, the turquoise run of Epi's seem to be hard to come by. So when I saw this Riviera for an awesome price I jumped on it. Just got her in last night. The action is great, if feels great, it could be my old guitar minus the p-90s!! The wife is going to kill me though when I tell her I still need a turquoise Casino to add to the collection...

Is that Rivera a full hollow body, or a semi hollow?

Semi-hollow. Guess that's the other big difference between it and the Casino.

Sweet!! I own your guitar's cousin! I have a turquoise studio. Nice to see another one on the boards!
