The first JORMA KAUKONEN RIVIERA DELUXE (MODEL ETJK) was produced by EPIPHONE in 2003. After being so impressed with the sound and quality of his friend Jack Casady’s signature bass, Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna decided that he wanted Epiphone to make his signature instrument too. Built to Jorma’s specifications, the Riv Deluxe sports, Epiphone ‘57 Classic, Alnico-V pickups, Gold hardware, Grover machine heads, Dot fret markers and Gold Licensed Bigsby Vibrato.
