This guitar is assembled in our new 10,000sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Sicamous BC Canada.

In our years of making Graduated Scale Guitars, we had always fanned the nut and the Bridge. One Day, I was working on guitars and realized that I could get the same ergonomic fan without the excessive scale change by fanning the nut and using the bridge as the neutral point. After building many prototypes, We developed the California Scale. A 25.5-25” scale length guitar that would normally be 26-25” fan. This has other benefits over just ergonomics and a neutral bridge point. The other benefit is that the bracing doesn’t have any twist to it, how the bridge reacts with the bracing and position on the top is much better, and the end result is ergonomic and string tension like a dread and a folk in the same guitar.
This guitar comes with a hard case.

Neck-thru Construction - The Patented Riversong Neck System

Our patented Neck-thru technology offers many benefits including strength, intonation, less bracing, easier playing due to the ability to make precise adjustments, variable top loading, an even balanced sustain tone, and volume up and down the neck (yes even on the body), eliminating the need of an expensive neck reset, slinky easy string tension, reduced heel, and the integrated strap pins are part of the structure of the guitar.

Riversong's unique patented Neck-thru design also has a truss rod that runs the full length of the neck. Most traditional guitars have a truss rod that ends at the 14^th fret and continuing with an elongated screw head. Riversong necks have a full-length truss rod that adjusts the entire length closer to how an electric guitar is constructed.

The patented neck system has a small amount of flex (like a Strat) and this allows regular gauge strings to feel a lot less stiff further enforcing our electric-like feel.

Our Active Body System

Riversong’s innovation is the active body system. It works by moving the neck all the way through the body allowing two things happen:

The structure shifts from neck joint to the end block
The mass of the neck is now equal in and out of the guitar and it is free to vibrate like a tuning fork helping to ring up and down the neck and throughout the body. With the structure coming from the back of the guitar, the body and the neck has a little bit of flex (like a Strat vs a Les Paul) this flex gives the body the ability to freely vibrate and give the strings a really slinky feel (low tension)
