The Yatē Signature embodies the full expression of Belforti’s modern double-cut design — compact, precise, and unapologetically powerful. Every element has been refined to deliver immediacy and authority without excess, resulting in a guitar that feels both responsive and deeply grounded.

Its symmetrical body and sculpted neck joint offer perfect balance, while its dynamic tonal core rewards touch, intent, and emotion. Built for players who see the instrument as an extension of thought, the Yatē Signature turns discipline into expression and force into finesse.

The Art of Resonance

The Yatē Signature doesn’t push — it breathes.

Each note emerges with quiet strength, shaped by the player’s touch rather than their volume.

Its response is instantaneous yet controlled, allowing weight and subtlety to coexist within the same phrase.

There’s a gravity to its tone — a physicality you can feel through the hands — but never a struggle.

It’s an instrument that listens, translating intent into impact with a rare kind of poise.

The experience isn’t about volume or gain; it’s about presence — that sensation of sound existing exactly where it should.

Tone, Feel & Presence

The Yatē Signature carries a voice that’s both articulate and immense.

It projects a rich harmonic depth, where low frequencies feel anchored and high mids bloom with effortless sustain.

The tone is dense, not compressed — wide and transparent, with clarity that remains even under saturation.

Each note locks into place, balanced by a smooth, tactile response that feels organic rather than mechanical.

It’s a guitar that doesn’t color the player; it amplifies their intent, making silence as meaningful as sound.

Electronics & Control

At the heart of the Yatē Signature lies a set of Seymour Duncan P-Rails — a complete tonal architecture in one instrument.

This system offers three distinct voices per pickup: P-90, single coil, and humbucker, switchable with effortless precision. It’s an elegant way to move from crystalline clarity to rich midrange growl or saturated drive without ever changing guitars.

The result is a sonic powerhouse — versatile, dynamic, and transparent — giving the player access to every register of tone without compromise.
