From Paris, with love

From our Paris workshop, each Belforti instrument is a labor of love and expertise, hand-built by one man. Every detail, from the wood selection to the finishing touches, is handled with passion, guaranteeing a truly unique instrument that reflects the spirit of Parisian craftsmanship

Materials

Premium Materials

From aerospace-grade carbon fiber reinforcements in the neck to top-of-the-line hardware, our focus is on durability, reliability, and optimum sound quality. Our fret wires, truss rods, and even the finishing lacquers are sourced from industry leaders, ensuring that every detail adds to the overall excellence of the instrument.

Selected Bone Nuts

Our premium bone nut is sourced from free-range French bulls, providing the highest quality and sustainable material for your instrument. This carefully selected bone not only ensures optimal string vibration transmission but also aligns with our commitment to ethical and environmentally friendly practices.

Rated Tonewoods

We don't just pick any piece of wood; we choose tonewoods that meet the highest standards of quality and resonance. Our selection process involves careful sourcing from sustainable and reputed suppliers, followed by meticulous grading and rating. Each piece undergoes frequency testing and visual inspection to ensure optimal sound quality and aesthetic appeal. The aim is to provide you, the musician, with an instrument that doesn't just look good, but sounds incredible too.

Lutherie

Full Length Angled Carbon Reinforcement

Our guitars feature angled carbon fiber reinforcements embedded into the neck, providing a neck that remains stable through changes in temperature and humidity.

Our carbon reinforcements are installed up to the end of the neck, preventing rising tongue issues, and are installed at an angle to take advantange of the rods superior compression strength over flexion strength.

CNC’d Fretboards

By utilizing CNC machining, we ensure that each fret slot is cut with absolute accuracy, perfectly matching the radius of the fretboard. This eliminates any gaps between the fret and the bottom of the slot, creating a tight, seamless fit. The benefit? No room for humidity to penetrate, which aids in the longevity and stability of the fretboard and the instrument as a whole.

Easy Truss Rod Access

Our instruments feature a spokewheel design that allows for quick truss rod adjustments without the need for unscrewing or removing any parts of your instrument. Located at the base of the neck, the adjustment wheel ensures that you can fine-tune the neck relief with precision anywhere, anytime

Matching Pickup Shells

Every Belforti comes with custom color or wood matching pickup shells, to avoid spoiling our beautiful designs with plastic. For our E-Series, each shell is expertly painted to match the guitar's finish, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing look. In our M & S Series, the pickup shells are meticulously machined from the top piece of the instrument.

You're about to get PLEK'd

Every Belforti guitar undergoes meticulous PLEK treatment, a high-precision process that levels frets to perfection, enhances playability, and ensures optimal action. This cutting-edge technology guarantees that your instrument is set up with the finest precision for unmatched comfort and playability right out of the case.

Hardware

Optima Gold Strings

Strings are more than just an accessory; they are the voice of your instrument. That's why we've partnered with Optima to bring you 24k Gold plated strings. These aren't your average strings; they're engineered for longevity, resisting oxidation to give you enduring, fresh-sounding performance.

Single Saddle Bridge

One of the standout advantages of a Single Saddle Bridge is its ability to isolate each string, preventing the unwanted sympathetic vibrations that can occur with traditional one-block bridges.

Until 2025 we were using Hipshot’s bridge, and starting from now our own proprietary bridge is produced by ABM in Germany, with the highest standards you can expect from this renowned manufacturer.

Thin Frets

At the heart of our design philosophy is the desire to let the natural characteristics of the wood shine through. That's why we opt for thin frets in all our instruments. Unlike thicker frets, which can act as a tonal filter, thin frets allow for a more unobstructed vibration of the string, capturing more of the inherent woody sound of the guitar. This results in a richer, more nuanced tone that resonates with the qualities of the selected tonewoods.

Powered by Belforti.

Our instruments come equiped with our proprietary Electronic Configurations.

They are meant to offer distinctive sounds and layouts without having to go through an infinite list of third party pickups and parts.

They feature our own proprietary pickups, handwound in house and designed with Devialet's former 3D Acoustics Lead Engineer.

Mounted on our onboard PCB made by our friends at TOMA Systems, say goodby to faulty connections, loose wires and component swapping related issues.

Finishes

UltraThin Polyurethane

We employ an ultra-thin polyurethane finish that serves a dual purpose: it protects the wood while allowing it to resonate more freely, ensuring that the intrinsic tonal characteristics of our premium tonewoods shine through.

Extensive Paint Options

Your instrument should be as unique as you are. That's why we offer an extensive range of paint options to suit every style and personality. Each finish is applied with artisanal precision to ensure lasting beauty and ultimate tone quality.

Outstanding & Unique Finishes

Our outstanding and unique finishes are a testament to our commitment to craftsmanship and artistic expression. Inspired by nature, marine life, and cultural motifs, each finish is a work of art in itself.

Future-Proof.

Every Belforti comes with a lifetime warranty on lutherie & structural integrity. We know our instruments will tour, and they're prepared.

We got your back for as many years as you can count.
