Come\'s with an Epiphone Hard Shell Case.

Epiphone’s Jorma Kaukonen signature model Riviera, there’s the beautiful maple top and striking gold hardware appointing the cherry-finished semi-hollow body.

The action on the instrument is very low, yet strings are easy to bend. The guitar stay\'s in tune perfectly, even with heavy pushing and bending. The headstock, equipped with Grover tuners, has Kaukonen’s signature under the Epiphone logo. The fretboard, top, and back are all bound.

Electronically, Epiphone’s wonderful ’57 Classic Alnico V pickups, the standard two volume/two tone setup with three-way toggle. Plug into an all-tube amp with a little added grit and reverb, flick to the bridge pickup, and roll the tone off a bit, and behold! The sound of Hot Tuna’s “Keep Them Lamps Trimmed And Burnin’.” With the amp dirtied up, the pickup screams with a creamy distortion, funky and cutting-edge.

With the amp cleaned up a bit, dialed in a close rendition of The Rolling Stones’ “19th Nervous Breakdown” and Jefferson Airplane’sVolunteers!

Changing to the neck pickup and tossing in a little delay and preamped overdrive produces tone reminiscent of Eric Johnson’s “Ah Via Musicom.”

Adjusting the tone control of the neck pickup creates a soulful, jazz-like presence.
