Hi, I have an Epiphone Riviera in wine red that I bought a few years ago. The guy who sold it to me said it was made in Japan in the very early 1970s, most likely 1971.

I want to sell it but don't want to mis-represent it when I advertise it. It has a set neck, full size humbuckers and a frequensator tailpiece. Kanye West Graduation 320 Kbps Youtube.

It has an orange label inside the F-hole with the serial number 93166 on it. There is no serial number on the headstock and nowhere on the guitar or the label does it say where it was made. It has the three screws securing the truss-rod cover so probably Asian manufacture. The guitar has the thinnest neck, front to back, that I've ever seen on a guitar, thinner than the 1960s Gibson ES-335s. That's why I'm selling it. I have big hands and it's just not enough of a handful for me. Any help in dating this guitar would be most gratefully received.

Cheers, Arthur.
