The Essence of Feel
The SARĀ Essential feels alive under the hands — responsive, comfortable, and perfectly weighted.
Its compact double-cut shape and seamless neck joint let the player move without restriction, translating even the smallest gestures into sound.
It reacts with a sense of ease and immediacy, creating a physical connection between movement and tone that feels instinctive.
Simple, intuitive, and inspiring — the Essential isn’t about less, it’s about exactly enough.
Tone, Feel & Balance
The SARĀ Essential speaks with the natural balance and brightness of a great single-coil instrument — articulate, dynamic, and touch-sensitive.
Its tone has the familiar shimmer and harmonic openness of a classic design, but with the control and consistency of modern engineering.
Every note blooms evenly, rich in overtones yet free of noise or harshness.
It’s a voice that feels timeless, refined, and unmistakably honest — clear when clean, vocal when driven, always in tune with the player.
Essential Series Features
Premium Grade Woods
Our Essential Series is equiped with the entry level of the Belforti Wood Library. These woods have been selected, aged, and rated according to our wood rating method.
All the Premium grade pieces are rated between 71 and 80, above most pieces found on the market, ensuring you get exceptional tonality and a beautiful aesthetic, right from the start.
Complete Customization
You choose everything.
From core specs like number of strings & scale length down to side dots material, colors & string gauge.
3 Piece Neck
The E-Series features a robust 3-piece neck construction that enhances both the instrument's stability and resonance. Utilizing three individual pieces of wood, this design approach significantly minimizes the potential for warping or twisting over time, ensuring your guitar's longevity.
2 or 3 Piece Body
For those who opt for a natural finish to showcase the wood's inherent beauty, we use a carefully selected 2-piece body.
For instruments with solid color finishes, a 3-piece body construction is employed. While still prioritizing tonal integrity, the 3-piece construction allows us to be more resource-efficient, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.

Authentic Voice, Modern Stability.

The SARĀ Essential is equipped with the Seymour Duncan Classic Stack® Plus Strat set — a noiseless SSS configuration designed to preserve vintage single-coil tone with modern quiet operation. Bright, dynamic, and responsive, this system captures the sparkle and midrange chime of classic Strat-style pickups while eliminating hum.
The result is a clean, articulate voice that remains full and expressive, perfectly suited for both subtle dynamics and assertive rhythm work. Pure, balanced, and versatile — this is the sound of tradition, engineered for today.
