ABOUT
Ruf Guitars
Our guitars come from research and science, not from a design standpoint.
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.
Ruf Guitars' system ensures that every guitar that leaves our doors meets the highest standards of perfection, and for added peace of mind, it provides detailed inspection reports so any issues can be easily identified and addressed.
