Riversong Tradition Acoustic Guitars Adjustable Acoustic Guitar

Riversong Tradition Acoustic Guitars Adjustable Acoustic Guitar is an innovative musical instrument design that revolutionizes traditional acoustic guitar construction through its patented adjustable neck system. Developed over a six-year period through extensive research and prototyping, this instrument represents a significant advancement in acoustic guitar technology, featuring a unique neck-through design that extends the entire length of the guitar, eliminating common structural issues found in conventional acoustic guitars. The instrument's most distinctive feature is its ability to adjust string height and intonation under full string tension using a simple allen key mechanism, offering unprecedented precision in setup and maintenance. The design incorporates a soundhole diffuser disc that optimizes tonal balance, particularly beneficial for studio recording applications. Constructed primarily from domestic woods, the guitar showcases superior resonance and structural integrity due to its innovative build process, which includes the elimination of the traditional 14th fret hump and implementation of a high-contact neck pocket for enhanced sound conduction. The instrument maintains familiar dimensions similar to a dreadnought shape while featuring a thinner, stiffer neck profile achieved through advanced materials and manufacturing techniques. Recognized with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Musical Instruments Design category in 2015, this guitar design addresses multiple limitations of traditional acoustic guitars while maintaining serviceability through the use of readily available components. The manufacturing process combines modern CNC laser technology with specialized jigs to ensure consistent quality, prioritizing precision craftsmanship over production speed. The design's emphasis on renewable materials and serviceability reflects a contemporary approach to sustainable instrument manufacturing.
