About Belforti Guitars

Belforti Instruments designs and handcrafts professional electric guitars in Paris, France, combining the precision of modern engineering with the artistry of traditional lutherie.

Every guitar is conceived as a bridge between classic inspiration and contemporary innovation — compact forms, refined ergonomics, and tonal depth shaped through meticulous attention to detail.

From CNC-machined precision to hand-polished fretwork and custom electronics, Belforti guitars are built for players who demand both comfort and character.

Custom Electric Guitars Made in France

Each instrument is crafted in Belforti’s Paris workshop, from material selection to final setup.

Players can choose between multiple configurations: headless or traditional headstock, 6-, 7-, or 8-string layouts, fixed or tremolo bridges, and a variety of scale lengths and radii.

All Belforti guitars feature no-heel neck architecture, invisible fret tangs, and titanium-reinforced necks, ensuring absolute stability and effortless access to the upper register.

These instruments are equally suited for stage and studio — from modern progressive genres to classic rock, fusion, and jazz.

Belforti Series and Customization

The Belforti lineup is structured into three main series, allowing musicians to find the perfect balance between specification, customization, and price point:


  • Essential Series – streamlined specifications, professional playability, and core Belforti tone.

  • Masterbuilt Series – premium tonewoods, advanced finishes, and expanded configuration options.

  • Signature Series – fully bespoke instruments crafted to order, featuring unique materials, inlays, and finishes.

Each series benefits from Belforti’s proprietary polyurethane finishing system, available in matte or gloss, solid, metallic, or translucent bursts from an in-house palette of 82 colors.

Modern Design, Timeless Craft

Belforti guitars combine digital precision modeling with the sensitivity of hand finishing.

Every fret is PLEK-calibrated, every setup is digitally verified, and every component is assembled with structural accuracy to the micron.

This approach ensures perfect action, intonation, and resonance, delivering instruments that remain stable across time and climate.

Each guitar reflects Belforti’s design philosophy: engineered creativity, where technology enhances expression instead of replacing it.
