Abstract
The aim of the project is to develop an innovative line of electric guitars “RUF Guitars” made of composites. The guitars will be characterized by unprecedented ergonomy, weight and will contain a number of improvements not offered by the competition. Key innovations included: ultra-thin griffin (less than 15mm), significantly reduced weight (less than 1,5kg), protection of the griffin with nanosilver particles reducing sweating of the hand, increased stiffness of the griffin and resistance to temperature and humidity changes and innovative design solutions.
