Co-founded by world famous product and industrial designer Ravi K. Sawhney, Rock and Hall of Famer/guitar hero Dave Mason and information technology pioneer Dale Jensen, RKS Guitars represent the first true revolution in electric guitar design in fifty years! It all began when Sawhney challenged the RKS Design visionaries in 2000 to dream up a fresh guitar. Tens of thousands of hours of designing, prototyping and redesigning followed, under a team lead by RKS’ Paul Janowski, who brought 20 years of guitar-building experience to the mission. The hands-on participation of Dave Mason in the incubation process offered a rare opportunity to fine-tune groundbreaking instruments with direct input from a master musician.

RKS Guitars’ unique essence lies in their futuristic, patented “Open Architecture” construction, where each guitar begins with a core instrument perfected for balance, ergonomics and tone. Ribs and bodies can then be added in a wide variety of spectacular finishes and colors, offering a new paradigm, “limitless” guitar concept ideal for inventing varied models suited for a broad range of players, from music enthusiasts of every ilk to marquee-level artists.

Outrageous clarity and sustain make RKS Guitars’ rich sonics as unprecedented as the eye-popping visuals of their dramatic neck-through-body build. RKS Guitars also innovate environmentally, maximizing the use of sustainable materials throughout every phase of manufacturing with a signature new design that results in a significant reduction in the use of rare tone woods. Made in the USA, RKS’ revolutionary instruments come to life via a process fusing advanced surface modeling techniques—like those employed by automotive designers—CNC programming & machining technologies and final precision hand-assembly.
