The company’s founder Mike Miltimore gave Mr. Harper a demonstration of the guitar’s features and showed the PM how Riversong’s solid one-piece neck results in a deeper and richer sound. The Prime Minister met the luthiers and workers who make up the Riversong production team and signed a custom guitar with the Canadian flag design hand painted on the front.
“It was a true honour to have the leader of our country, Prime Minister Stephen Harper visit us at our guitar factory in Kamloops, BC, Canada,” said Miltimore. “He, himself, is a musician and understands the emotional connection one has with a good instrument.”
