Brad calls this guitar the "Salvation Piece" when it comes to records. This guitar is beautifully bright and adds texture to songs that makes them pop. Brad has used it quite a bit with the stock Epiphone pick-ups and according to him, it sounds great. On the Wire record, there is a song called "It's a Shame", where Third Day wanted this high, jangly part. Brad capoed the Riviera at the ninth fret and played the part. He said you would imagine that capoing a 12-string at the ninth fret would be a nightmare, but the Riviera behaved beautifully. On the Offerings Experience DVD, Brad says this guitar has a lot of action, both on records and live. And according to Brad, the Riviera is the guitar that pulled a lot of Third Day's albums out of the trash can.
