Comission your own ideas

This collection is a portfolio of ideas for how I like to build guitars. Take a look at the entire collection and make a note of features that appeal to you, My vision is for you to provide the inspiration for your own Rubÿtone – Grandma’s turkey roaster lid, a license plate from Burma, or Grandpa’s old guitar with half the parts missing. Then, I will fill in the blanks and tell the rest of your story, making it come to life as a new customized creation.

Pricing considerations include the design, components, musical value such as playability and tonality, sculptural artistry, durability, and whether they can stand on their own.

Hollow-Body

Classic lines, elegant tone
If you want the full experience, this is the design to choose. You can't go wrong with f-holes when it comes to mojo and desire. However, the benefits don't stop there. The bodies from abandoned violas and plastic toy guitars make for better sounding and louder instruments when everything is situated just right.

Simple

I'm going to level with you.
I have omitted anything that is not necessary. These guitars are FUN to play and to look at. I might build a guitar upon an old carpenters tool because I like to create a level playing field. It also looks cool but the main concept here is keeping it simple.
 

Mini

Short-scale
This is a guitar that you don't have to leave behind. It might even fit into your bag. The shortened scale length will require a bit of transposing if you want to play together with others, but that is easy to learn. It's like playing with a capo on the 5th fret, without the capo.

I used to go to the corner and wait for the bus

while commuting from my home in Weehawken. Nowadays, instead of waiting for the bus each day, thinking, “I wish I could play the guitar more,” I bring one with me and play the guitar until the bus comes. Over time, I have also learned to play while walking to work. At first, this was quite a challenge because I never tried to play without looking at my hands. When walking in the city, though, looking down is not a good idea. It was like starting over; I found a mantra and learned to play for 20 minutes at a time without looking. Now, with everything I have added to my repertoire, I can play better without looking. Not only has this new-found practice time added to my fluency, I also find it is an interesting way to market my work and occasionally make a sale.

    Upon receiving my Rubytone guitar, I was blown away by the attention to detail and the quality of craftsmanship. The sound was rich and full, with the built-in amp delivering impressive tones that exceeded my expectations. It felt like an extension of myself, perfectly tailored to my playing style. This guitar is not just an instrument; it's a work of art that embodies my musical journey. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this studio to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind guitar experience that combines personal expression with exceptional craftsmanship.

      I stumbled upon a street performer who captivated me with his soulful melodies played on a unique guitar. The instrument in question was a Rubytone built-in-amp guitar, a striking blend of a Telecaster and a whiskey barrel with the elegance of a viola. Its rich tones resonated beautifully, drawing me in and making it impossible to walk past without stopping to listen. The craftsmanship was evident, with its warm wood finish and intricate details that hinted at its exceptional sound quality.

        The shell of the bass, ingeniously repurposed from an omelette maker, houses the NU>X Mighty Lite BT circuit and speaker. This clever integration not only adds a quirky aesthetic but also enhances its portability and functionality. The sound quality was surprisingly impressive for a guitar of such unconventional origins, with a clear tone that resonated beautifully in the open air. It’s a testament to the innovative spirit behind the Rubytone design.

          What truly struck me was the collaborative spirit behind the creation of this bass guitar. During our conversation, I mentioned an old carpenter level from my grandfather's tool collection, and to my surprise, the artist suggested using it as the main beam for the project. This personal touch not only added sentimental value but also highlighted the guitar's one-of-a-kind nature. It felt like I was contributing to a piece of art that would carry a story of its own.
