P2P-GA (The River Pacific)
Now with Patented Double Reaction Bridge!
Winner of Acoustic Guitar of the Year 2022 and Nominee for Acoustic Guitar of the Year 2024 by MMR Magazine!
You will feel nothing but relaxed with The River Pacific guitar, where performance and comfort are perfectly integrated.
This guitar is all about attention to detail. It is designed with arm-rest and rib-rest bevels, making it comfortable for anyone who may pick it up and start playing it.
Our patented Adjustable Neck-thru System™ increases resonance by getting rid of bulky bracing while offering a fast and precise adjustment for action and intonation. This adjustment makes the P2P-GA stand out like no other guitar on the planet.
With sourcing, assembly and critical building steps all completed in our factory in Sicamous, British Columbia, Canada, this guitar is built with parts from around the Pacific Ocean - Canada, China, Korea & the USA and also features:
- dual carbon fibre rods in the neck
- a side sound port (which directs sound upwards so you can better hear and harmonize with the guitar as you play)
- diffuser disc (a tuned feedback buster)
- the revolutionary Fishman Flex pickup system.
The Fishman pickup system is used on some of the biggest stages in the world.
First class design, playability, and unique patented construction make this guitar a must-have in your arsenal.
As an affordable guitar with an emphasis on performance, it’s no wonder the River Pacific P2P GA was given the Dealer's Choice Award for Acoustic Guitar of the Year by MMR Magazine!

How to Set Up Your Guitar
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 (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!
