They inevitably touch some point in our products\u2019 journey, whether it\u2019s conception, design, development, creation, marketing, customer care, sales, or recycling. If you\u2019re like us, you\u2019re probably wondering what Samsung products are they actually adding to their carts. And, among those, what are the products that they love the most?<\/p>\n<p>For the latest installment of our \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/tag\/living-my-best-life-with-samsung\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Living My Best Life<\/a>\u201d series, we sat down with Marc Kuffler, Mobile Systems Engineer for Samsung Electronic America\u2019s MX (Mobile eXperience) business. His passion for guitars began more than 50 years ago and he sees these instruments as an extension of himself. While traditional shops often cater to the masses, Marc wanted something truly personal\u2014crafted to his specs and built for a lifetime. Determined to create the perfect guitar, he began his journey by hand, starting with a block of wood\u2014a process that took him several years to complete.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedded product-module\">\n\t\t<a id=\"product-module-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/tablets\/galaxy-tab-s10\/\" title=\"Galaxy Tab S10\" class=\"snr-article_product-image\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Galaxy Tab S10\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/maleoffice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Galaxy-Tab-S10-Product-Module-1.png\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<p>Today, Marc has elevated his craft with the help of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/tablets\/galaxy-tab-s9-fe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE<\/strong><\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/owners\/app\/penup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>PENUP app<\/strong><\/a>, a vibrant community for creatives. Using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/tablets\/galaxy-tab-s9-fe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the tablet<\/a>, Marc designs intricate, high-quality sketches of his dream guitars, which he sends to a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) team for precise cutting. This modern approach blends art, science, and craftsmanship, making the guitar-building process faster and more accurate while still rooted in Marc\u2019s creative vision.<\/p>\n<p>The advanced AI in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/owners\/app\/penup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PENUP<\/a> transformed his sketches into precise blueprints, even though he\u2019s not a graphic artist, making it possible for someone to use his drawings as detailed plans for crafting a custom guitar body. He also leveraged <strong>Google Gemini <\/strong>to compare various guitar body styles and explore the best design paths. The Gemini-powered AI experience on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/tablets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galaxy Tab<\/a> functioned as a creative sounding board, helping him visualize and refine his ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The AI-powered tools on Marc\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/tablets\/galaxy-tab-s9-fe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galaxy Tab S9 FE<\/a> didn\u2019t just speed up the process\u2014they revolutionized it. Features like \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/galaxy-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Circle to Search<\/strong><\/a>\u201d let him select a specific paint color and instantly browse options to find accurate matches and purchase locations. This alone cut his painting time from eight months on his first guitar to just two weeks for his second. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/tablets\/galaxy-tab-s9-fe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The S9 FE<\/a> is such an extremely powerful device\u2014it does so much in such a small package. And the AI just took it to the next level\u2014I find it to be indispensable,\u201d he reflected. Basically, Marc has struck the perfect chord between technology and craftsmanship, using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/tablets\/galaxy-tab-s9-fe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galaxy Tab S9 F<\/a>E to bring his custom guitars to life.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedded product-module\">\n\t\t<a id=\"product-module-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/galaxy-ai\/\" title=\"Galaxy AI \" class=\"snr-article_product-image\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Galaxy AI \" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/maleoffice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MX-_Galaxy-AI.png\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<p>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung employees are the innovators, creators, trailblazers, doers, problem solvers, and changemakers of our organization.
