Industrial design & Frabrication // Jackson Gress & Connor Close

Guitar’s are traditionally designed and made by luthiers, makers, craftsman, etc.An industrial designer provides a refreshing perspective to guitar design & making.
Leveraging a new way of thinking through electric guitar design architecture to
create an instrument that is boldly unique to the educated yet familiar and comfortable
for everyone.
What?
An electric guitar that redefines how guitars are designed, manufactured, assembled, marketed, sold, and experienced.Riff x Marble Plastics.
The first Riff x Marble Plastics guitar is a casestudy proving that this design architecture can
yield a quality instrument regardless of materiality .
The RXM01.
The RXM01 features the Riff Guitar’s “trademarked” center block constructionwith Marble Plastic’s gelato recycled plastic material made from bread tags to create an iconic, wild, yet familiar guitar with an undeniable personality. Oh yeah and a pair of Seymour Duncan P90’s that absolutely sing.
