The Configurator : Design in Real Time
Our 3D Configurator lets you visualize your future instrument in real time.
Available on vevery series, guitars and basses, it allows you to explore combinations of finishes, hardware, pickup layouts, and more — directly on your screen.
Everything is covered, from general specs down to string gauges and side dots
It’s design with dialogue, not just design by dropdown.
What you can choose
Woods
Tonewood matters — but so does feel, balance, and character.At Belforti, we offer a curated selection of body and neck woods chosen for their acoustic response, weight, aesthetics, and structural integrity. Whether you're drawn to the focused attack of maple, the warmth of mahogany, or the complexity of exotic tops, each wood is selected and matched with intent — to serve the music, not just the eye.
Neck Profiles : Feel Comes First
The neck defines your connection to the instrument — so we offer multiple profiles, from traditional shapes to ergonomically engineered profiles for comfort and control
If you want a custom profile based on your existing favorite neck or specific ergonomic needs, we can shape that too.
Electronics
Each Belforti instrument features a carefully designed electronic layout, Wired on top of a Toma Systems PCB or handwired for clarity, response, and tone integrity. We offer a wide range of configurations, Belforti handwound pickups or aftermaket pickups
All components are selected for performance: smooth tapers, noise-free response, long-term reliability — always with musicality in mind.
Finishes: Crafted to Reflect Your Identity
At Belforti, a finish isn’t just decoration — it’s an extension of the instrument’s personality. We offer a curated range of finishes: gloss, satin, metallic, matte, and translucent options, all applied with care and durability in mind.
Our finishing process is tuned for feel and longevity. Matte finishes stay thin and textured; gloss finishes are deep without choking resonance. From understated elegance to bold stage presence, your guitar will look the way it sounds — deliberate, expressive, and refined.
And so much more
