You will feel nothing but relaxed with The River Pacific guitar, where performance and comfort are perfectly integrated.
The attention to detail with the arm rest and rib rest bevels makes this guitar comfortable for anyone. Our patented adjustable "Neck-thru" system increases resonance by decreasing bulky bracing while offering a fast and precise adjustment for action and intonation. The precise adjustment of action and intonation make this guitar stand out like no other guitar on the planet.
Utilizing several top quality woods from Canada, this guitar also features dual carbon fibre rods in the neck, side sound port (which acts like a personal monitor), diffuser disc (a tuned feedback buster) and the revolutionary Fishman Flex pickup system, which is a feature of the Custom Shop G2 Series and can be seen today on the biggest stages in the world. First class design, playability, with unique patented construction make this guitar a must have in your arsenal. As an affordable luxury guitar with an emphasis on performance, it’s no wonder the River Pacific P2P GA was winner of Acoustic Guitar of the Year by MMR Magazine!
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 14th 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)
