1980/81 Deluxe Reverb Question - Rivera?

[gaslanyard]

Hey,

So I'm looking into getting a 80 or 81 deluxe reverb and was wondering if this was before or during Reivera's fender designs? I know the Deluxe IIs were his and those were around 82-84 or something? But this doesn't say Deluxe II on the face just Deluxe in blackface. So, wondering if this is a Rivera or not.

It the same as this one on gbase.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I don't think they are Rivera design. Pretty sure they are just silverface circuits with blackface cosmetics.
