This is ana amazing guitar! Right out of the box it was perfect. A lot of people are saying that theres wasn't good at all and that you were lucky if you got a good one. Well, I must be really lucky because mine is just about perfect. The pickups are a little weak and they don't give you many different tones but if you're creative you can find a lot to do, or a lot of ways, to mod the middle pickup. Over all this is an amazing guitar!

Got this guitar christmas day and all it gave me (after the excitment of finally beign able to play it) was trouble. I sent it back with a friend of mine and he called in a new one 2 more times with the same problem

Input falls into body volume/tone knobs are ... sketchy

The last time he ordered it the headstock was broken.

As beautiful as the guitar is I'm not to sure it was worth it

Gotta love the Riviera!

This is one fine instrument. I have not found anything wrong. Out of the box, all it needed was a tune, and sounded perfect. Fit and finish was amazing. There was one little flaw, a bit of gold paint, overspray, on one of the volume knobs. It was rectified immediately by MF. I would buy another one of these in a hearbeat. I may well, buy another, just for an investment. After one week of play, I put my Dot Studio, up for sale, as I will never go back to it again.

The Epiphone P93 Riviera has amazing features for the price. I still don't know how they can afford to put out this thing, but I'm willing to take advantage.

Bigsby is great -- the guitar holds its tuning after I've used it. Pickups have an amazing versatility; I'm putting the guitar through the Vox Tonelab and it's been very impressive. (Yes, the Tonelab is impressive, but my other guitars haven't been as responsive). So far no feedback. My jack is fine.

The guitar did need a set-up. Action was very high, but once I got a set-up (minimal -- just for action), everything was fine. Really a very beautiful guitar, too, but I'm most impressed by it's versatility. The different combinations of pick-ups bring out new tones every day.

I bought this guitar because I wanted a guitar with this particular body style, but I got a really good deal with it. I was weary because I had read a lot of critical reviews of it, however, it was fantastic upon arrival. I got it the same day I had a concert, and after changing the strings, this played as well as my Epiphone Les Paul standard. The Bigsby set up is nice, the control is wonderful and the action was just right. I could not be more pleased with this guitar.
