Sound Pure's Take

This instrument has a ton of character. From rock to blues to punk, this is the perfect guitar for the gigging musician or studio player.

Be careful, these pickups got BITE!

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

When you’re the lead guitarist in New York’s coolest rock band, you need a cool guitar. Just as Epiphone started out in Manhattan, so did The Strokes. In 1999, Nick Valensi chose to play his incendiary guitar riffs on a customized Epiphone Riviera, one of our classic guitars from the Kalamazoo era. From the fuzzy stomp of “Last Nite” to the brittle groove of “Juicebox,” the Riviera is at the heart of all the band’s greatest moments.
