RKS founder Ravi K. Sawhney said he wasn't thinking about the long odds when he decided to get into the guitar business--he was simply excited about the chance to break the mold.
A prominent product designer, Sawhney's RKS Design in Thousand Oaks, Calif., has created the look of photo printers for Hewlett-Packard Co., cell phones for Nokia and vacuum cleaners for Sears.
