Overview

Uncommon tonewood and special electronics combine to make this a great guitar for performers.

The Tradition Canadian Special Edition (SE) guitar was the first model Riversong Guitars produced and was the guitar that started it all. Lovingly called “Special Edition”, this guitar features domestic woods, balanced tone, thin C profile neck – this is essentially Riversong Guitars founder Mike Miltimore’s dream guitar. One month after its release, Mike was nominated and won runner-up for the EY Young Entrepreneur Of The Year for Canada.

This Special Edition features Chillakwian maple the Riversong team discovered on a visit to the tonewood sawmills. While looking for the "perfect" piece of wood, they noticed an enormous amount of waste wood that look like it was pulled straight out of a catalog. As you can see, this beautiful wood is naturally, uniquely gorgeous. Since then, the Chillakwian back and sides with Sitka spruce top combination has been compared to pre-war classics and is a favorite with many musicians. This gorgeous dreadnought delivers a tight, crisp bottom end with a crystal-clear top end make this guitar a fingerpicking dream. An easy half turn of the neck angle adjustment yields a .5 mm adjustment at the 12th fret. The chord chimes evenly all the way up the neck while single note runs are smooth and even, due to the wide resonant response of the body.

Includes hardshell case.
