Riversong Guitars is a Canadian guitar manufacturer based in Sicamous, British Columbia.
Riversong Guitars was established as a division of Lee’s Music [1] , a family-run music store founded by Lee Miltimore in Kamloops, British Columbia. [2] [3] Drawing on his background in music retail, audio engineering, and instrument building, Mike Miltimore launched Riversong with the aim of rethinking acoustic guitar construction.

The company initially operated out of Kamloops before expanding production into a larger facility in Sicamous, British Columbia, a building that formerly housed a houseboat manufacturing operation, with Miltimore stating the location allowed for expanded production and the use of local Canadian tonewoods, including maple, spruce, and walnut from the surrounding Shuswap region.

Riversong produces a range of acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars, including:
The company also offers one-off custom guitars, ukuleles and custom electric guitars all including their patented adjustable neck system. [14]
