I always worry about gold hardware wearing, but that looks great to me. Enjoy!

Those FB720 pickups are Firebird pickups, a bit different than the Mini humbuckers in the Riviera. They sound good though. Enjoy the guitar!

 

[OrganicZed]

I'm glad you like it and happy NGD!

gold, Gold, must have  GOLD!

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Just the right amount of gold to make me like this.

GBOGH

That made me think of this

 

[TVvoodoo]

Classy!

 

[laxu]

That would look so much cooler with satin chrome hardware.

But it's still not like super blingy.

 

[Eagle]

I like a gold top . I would not buy a guitar without playing it first but I suppose you can send it back if it is not to your liking.

I’ve got a Firebird & used to have a Riviera until my son borrowed it and I’ve not seen it since .

 

[Dave Lewis]

It arrived earlier safe and sound from Glasgow
It’s not as bling gold in the flesh which is good

 

[itchyfingers]

None more gold.

Happy NGD!

 

[QQQ]

Congrats!

I'm not a "gold guy", and I think the little bikini placard on the headstock looks ridiculous... but that guitar looks a lot more expensive than it is. (Thanks, Google.) I really love the paint job, the body binding, the trapeze tailpiece, and the OMG-is-that-actually-ebony fingerboard. Lovely guitar. I'd need a lot of jazz lessons to not feel ridiculous playing it, though.

Replace the Epiphone truss rod cover, take the bikini off, and put a custom decal on the headstock. Voila!

I think this guitar looks fantastic but that headstock and placard are not flattering at all. I think it would be a cool modern twist to make it a headless

That's fuckin pimp


I always wanted an EBMM Gold Roller

Yeah, looks like something I'd wear to the beach; doesn't belong on a headstock.
