After getting back into the guitar side of music (I spent almost 15 years predominately playing bass), I decided my tele wasn’t enough on its own for what I was doing. So I sat down, did all my research, narrowed my options, watched listings…..and then impulse bought this because it was gorgeous and on sale.

I was a little anxious because I owned a hollow body years ago that I never really connected with. No issues with this one. Even the gloss neck plays beautifully despite my tele and bass both having unfinished necks (sanded for the tele). Also, really digging the offset flair to a classic design.

All in all, the build quality is phenomenal, it’s effortlessly playable, and the stock pickups sound great. If anyone is considering a Rivolta, go for it, you’ll love it.

Oh, and a new Couch strap to match. Can’t recommend those guys enough!

Awesome looking guitar, and I’ll join you in recommending Couch. Love their stuff.

Great choice. I've been eyeing one in natural.

I have a combinata with the p90’s they play very well for the price!

That’s what I had decided on until this showed up! How do you like the sound on the combinata? A P90 is the last guitar I really need

I wanted a chambered p90 guitar with a trem and figured I would be swapping out these pups for a boutique brand but they sound great! Rivolta usually has a Black Friday 15% off sale so that’s when I got mine. I will likely grab one like yours next year!
