I had a burgundy Epi Rivera in the 80's and I was dumb enough to sell it. It was a fantastic guitar. The overtones with a good amp were amazing. I bought a Sheraton in the 90's...loved the tone but couldn't bond with all the frilly shell work and gold hardware..........
I would love to have an Epi DOT. A nice natural or burst Epi DOT with chrome hardware. Beautiful to hear and see.
Anyone who has seen the Pretenders live knows that a Gibson family hollow body and a Tele are a great match.
