Rivolta Regatta VII Gloss Natural Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar

This is a Rivolta Regatta VII semi-hollow electric guitar in Gloss Natural finish. This guitar is composed of a semi-hollow body made out of Laminated Maple top and back with Mahogany sides and Mahogany centre block. A Mahogany neck is set in with a 24 fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Wilkinson Deluxe tuning machines and TOM style bridge and stopbar tailpiece. A pair of Rivolta Brevetto humbuckers are fitted and wired to a 3-way pickup selector, volume and tone.

The gloss-finished Mahogany neck sports a ‘Rivolta C+’ neck profile that feels like a slightly deeper “C” shape and fills the hand well whilst still being incredibly comfortable. The double cutaway design gives the player unrestricted access to the upper register of the guitar. The semi-hollow body provides a wonderful amount of both sustain and resonance, providing a really authentic vintage feel that is in line with the guitar’s timeless aesthetic.

Amplified, the pair of Rivolta Brevetto humbuckers work in conjunction with the semi-hollow construction to deliver the full and thick sounds. The guitar resonates beautifully, filling out the sound with a deep and rich character. The neck pickup is warm and round, and can handle plenty of gain meaning you can achieve anything from jazzy lines through to soaring rock and blues solo tones. The bridge pickup is hotter, driving the front end of an amp with ease and producing the bright, biting tones that cut right through the mix to put your playing front and centre.
