ABOUT

Ruf Guitars

Our guitars come from research and science, not from a design standpoint.

Currently, electric guitars are made almost exclusively from wood, much of it from exotic and endangered species. Most of these species are exotic trees, some of which are already subject to CITES restrictions or outright bans on harvesting, use and export. A typical electric guitar's wood weighs around 3 kg (2.5-3.5 kg), but this doesn't have to be the case.

Ruffaine

Lefine

The material used to make our guitars, Ruffaine, is a scientifically developed and infinitely recyclable resonant material. Its structure, and therefore its sound, can be freely created, allowing any sound imaginable. And one of its greatest advantages is that it is infinitely recyclable. While other synthetic materials degrade with each processing, so at some point they lose their original properties, Ruffaine is processed by machine and not heat treated, so it can be recycled forever.

Richlite

The material we chose for the fretboard is Richlite, an extremely durable and sustainable material made from recycled paper infused with resin. It has been used for 70 years in the aviation and marine industries and in instrument building. Its acoustic properties, stability and ease of maintenance make it an ideal choice for modern instruments.

Our extensive experience in the composites industry allows us to plan production as sustainably as possible - this is very important to us and we believe that modern musicians will also appreciate this.

A Revolution in Quality Control

The innovative system ensures unparalleled precision and reliability in every guitar produced.
