Epiphone Bonehead Riviera - Dark Tobacco Burst

Paul Bonehead Arthurs was a key part of Oasis during their early years, helping to shape the raw, powerful sound that defined the bands first two albums. His Epiphone Riviera was at the heart of that music, heard on tracks that would go on to become anthems of a generation. Although Bonehead stepped away from the band before its later chapters, his playing and tone remain inseparable from the spirit of those early recordings. The Epiphone Bonehead Riviera celebrates that legacy with a faithful recreation of his original 1984 model, built for players who want to capture the same timeless energy.

The Bonehead Riviera model features a 5-ply maple body with a solid maple centerblock, which helps to enhance the guitars sustain and reduce any unwanted feedback. Much like Boneheads 1984 model, this guitar features a Dark Tobacco Burst finish which looks super slick and classy. It also features cream top and back binding, which are a great smaller detail.

The 3-piece Maple neck features a SlimTaper C profile and headstock volute. This profile is super comfortable and easy to navigate. Its a great middle ground and will appeal to such a wide range of musicians, so its a great middle ground. The Rosewood fingerboard is bound, and features 22 medium jumbo frets, and pearloid parallelogram inlays for a vintage look and feel.

The Bonehead Riviera comes fitted with a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers that produce a warm, vintage-inspired tone with plenty of clarity and punch. Each pickup is wired to its own volume and tone control using CTS potentiometers, giving players precise control over their sound. Black witch hat knobs with silver inserts and dial pointers add a classic touch while keeping adjustments easy to see on stage. Premium tuners provide excellent tuning stability, making this Riviera a reliable choice for both live performance and studio work.

A fitted hardshell case is included to keep the guitar safe wherever the music takes you.
