Stylist-DLX (Fingerstyle Deluxe)
Now with Double Reaction Bridge!
Adding to the Stylist line of guitars, this fast playing small body acoustic guitar feels very comfortable to play. The Deluxe also features a Flex Series Preamp with a Fishman Body Pickup.
This new Canadian wood combination features a solid Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides and red wood binding in a high gloss finish. The maple neck has a satin finish.
This guitar elevates your sound and looks amazing on a stage, in the studio or any place you want to play.
The innovation includes Riversong Guitars' patented Adjustable Neck-thru System, allowing for less bracing and the ability to adjust intonation and string height with an easy twist of an Allen key.
The Stylist also features a 2 octave fretboard, 16” radius, plus a sound port monitor and Strat style string spacing that makes you want to riff all night long.
We integrated our patented Double Reaction Bridge (co-developed with Philip Shaheen), which conducts sound to the top and under bridge plate simultaneously. This increases overall volume by 10%.
With sourcing, assembly and critical building steps done in our factory in Sicamous, British Columbia, Canada, this guitar is build with parts from Canada, China, Korea & the US.
The Patented Riversong Adjustable Neck-thru System™
Our patented Adjustable Neck-thru System™ 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 & volume up and down the neck (yes even on the body),
- no more need for an expensive neck reset
- slinky easy string tension
- reduced heel
- integrated strap pins as part of the structure of the guitar
Riversong's unique patented Adjustable Neck-thru System™ also has a truss rod that runs the full length of the neck. Most traditional guitars have a truss rod that ends at the 14th fret with an elongated screw head. Riversong necks have a full-length truss rod that adjusts the entire length. This is closer to how an electric guitar is constructed.
The patented Adjustable Neck-thru 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 (think more 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)
Double Reaction Bridge™
Riversong’s patented Double Reaction Bridge™ (co-developed with Philip Shaheen) is a composite bridge design that fits through the top of the guitar rather than being glued in place. This results in a bridge that’s stronger than traditional wood, will never lift, and makes even contact at the top and bridge plate underneath. Players can perfectly line the strings up with the fretboard and acoustic output is increased by 10%.
This also eliminates the need for pins - with the bridge itself being strong enough to hold the strings in place and the dual-contact design ensuring that the bridge will never lift. Combine this with our Adjustable Neck-thru and Active Body System and you have an incredibly solid guitar that can always be adjusted to fit your personal needs!
