Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Bonehead Riviera is a semi-hollow electric built with a five-ply layered maple body and a solid maple centerblock. That construction is paired with two Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers for clear clean tones and richer harmonic content when pushed. Individual volume and tone controls make pickup blending a hands-on part of the setup. A three-piece maple SlimTaper C neck, 24.75-inch scale, and bound rosewood fingerboard complete a guitar aimed at chord-driven parts, riffs, and lead work in stage or studio sessions.
