Rukavina Guitars

Owner Ryan Rukavina is a graduate of the Phoenix-based Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery (1996). After years of building, modifying, and repairing guitars while working as a woodworker and artisan baker, Ryan made the decision to pursue luthiery as his sole livelihood with the creation of Rukavina Guitars.

Ryan is building self-designed semi-hollow and solid body electric guitars in his workshop in Missoula, Montana, and is interested in making tuneful guitars that compliment the natural charm and beauty of quality woods. Ryan, a guitar player for about 17 years now, rarley goes a day without grabbing his guitar, playing the drum kit, and doing a little home recording when he finds the time.
