[Paul in Colorado]

Mine is a '68(?) Epiphone Riviera. It's cherry with mini humbuckers. I traded a beloved '68 Les Paul Gold Top for it in the early '70s at Dean Markley Music. (Yes, the string king!) It had been stock from a music store that went out of business and other then missing a neck inlay was brand new with hang tags. I used it for years in various bands and wrote a lot of songs on it. In the early '80's I had a stop tailpiece installed replacing the frequensator tailpiece. I thought that I'd hear a big difference in tone, but it still sounded the same. The tuners have been replaced twice, but always with the same style tuners so it looks original. Recently, I tried a set of Pyramid Gold strings for it. It gave me the sound of the Gibson 340L strings I used back in the '70's. It's a wonderful guitar. I'll have it all of my days. I don't take it out of the house much anymore. It's seen enough gigging. It also appeared in Fret's Magazine when Dawn Torres used it in an article about replacing inlay. (It was the second replacement for the missing inlay. The first was cut from a pearloid guitar pick!)
That's mine. Tell me about yours!
