For the acoustic guitar player who isn't afraid to think outside the box a little, Music Store Live is proud to offer up this gorgeous Riversong Tradition 1 Performer!

This is definitely one of those cases where the pictures really don't tell the full story of this awesome and innovative guitar. To start with, let's just get right into the NeckNology design. With the simple twist of an allen wrench, you can go from high action for slide playing to low fingerstyle action. Or let's suppose you're a touring musician who travels a lot. If in one day you're in the frigid New England northeast in the dead of winter, but then the next day have to fly to Florida for a gig, you'll notice that traditional acoustic guitars really make you pay for putting them through that travel. Not a Riversong guitar with NeckNology, though! Instead of having to travel with a guitar tech, you just need one allen wrench and your guitar is infinitely and easily adjustable in the blink of an eye. Don't let this revolutionary design daunt you.

Now, I'm sure, if you're anything like me, you're going "that's great and all... but how does the guitar sound? How does it play?" Well, this thing absolutely kicks ass! The neck plays like an electric guitar's neck. It's thin, narrow, and super fast to play. Made in Canada with all locally-sourced woods, the Riversong guitars are not all gimmicks and flashy technology. They sound awesome and they play extremely well! The tone is very balanced with focused and tight bass response and treble that cuts through without being shrill or piercing. The sound diffuser in the main soundhole helps with a lot more than just preventing feedback. It actually balances out the tone for a sound that continues to be full of energy throughout the entire sustain of the notes. Another convenient soundhole is located in just the right spot and angled to just the right degree that you end up with a monitor through which to hear yourself without any compromise whatsoever to the quality of the tone or integrity of the guitar.

Introduced in 2014, the Tradition 1 Performer has had great reviews from industry magazines like Vintage Guitar (Aug. 2015) “Fat and Clean” and Acoustic Magazine (Feb. 2016) “Sound Quality – Superb, almost faultless”. The unique combination of woods give the Trad 1 great dynamic range that blooms well up and down the neck. Big open sounding chords and tight arpeggios make fingerstyle or strummers feel at home. The integrated tone ring around the entire top, opens up the tone and breaks up the structure around the edges for a beautifully balanced and resonant tone. This guitar is very light and responsive – great for the “lead” acoustic player. The Tradition 1 features a body made of solid spruce back and sides.

Riversong Guitars are built with NeckNology tech – a solid neck that runs the length of the instrument and which can be manually adjusted to YOUR preference
