In Search of Perfection

“My Duke is an indispensible tool in my toolbox. It is an exceptionally made guitar that sounds and plays like a top quality instrument should.
The feel and finish is as good as it gets. It barks and growls like a p90 loaded 50’s era guitar. It will always be a part of my arsenal. I use it all the time.”

- Josh Smith

Duke Sonic

If you’re after a solid set-neck, stripped down rock’n'roll machine, check the Duke Sonic – Spanish Cedar slab body and neck, paperthin nitro finish, a muscular sounding P90 or two and cool vintage colours to choose from.

Duke Classic

The Duke Classic set-neck / carved top design launched Ruokangas to success in the mid 90′s. The super responsive tonal combination of solid Spanish Cedar and Arctic Birch with all the recognizable design elements are there.

Duke Artisan

The semi-acoustic Duke Artisan is extremely light, yet perfectly balanced to hold, responsing to your touch with exquisitely matured tone with beautiful, piano-like sustaining quality.

Duke Royale

Duke Royale is something else. As you know, we normally offer tons of customizing possibilities for our guitars, but this one Juha wanted to design from the start to the finish to symbolize the 10-year anniversary of his career.
