Abe Rivera '80s SEPTER ECLIPSE

　Abe Rivera continues to craft guitars on Long Island, New York. Known as a supreme masterpiece among handmade guitars—favored by Pat Martino, Kevin Eubanks, and, in Japan, Kazumi Watanabe—his instruments are the result of his innate craftsmanship, exceptional skill, and a wealth of creative ideas that give rise to unique designs.
True to his belief that crafting each guitar is a personal challenge, he considers how the client will perform—their fingering and picking style—and strives to ensure the guitar he creates in that moment is the best possible. These instruments are born as living, one-of-a-kind masterpieces, crafted for those who share a musical connection and for those who truly need this guitar.

This particular instrument is the "ECLIPSE" model from the "SEPTER" series, featuring an ebony body. Beautiful Mexican abalone is used for the inlays, and the bridge and pickguard are also crafted from ebony.The tailpiece is machined from solid brass, and each one is engraved with a message from Abe Rivera. As this is a rare gem that rarely appears on the market, please take this opportunity to try it out.

A heart symbol, representing Rivera’s themes of Paz (Peace) and Amor (Love), is engraved on the back of the headstock.

The pickups are Shadow-made, floating-type Zoller models.
The escutcheon is also handmade to accommodate the mounting type.

The controls are housed inside a cavity on the back of the body.

Mexican abalone, known for its unique luster, is used for the position marks and binding.
