Belforti Necks

At Belforti Instruments, we understand that the neck is the most personal part of the instrument — the interface between player and sound. That’s why we offer a curated range of five distinct neck profiles, each designed to suit different hand shapes, playing techniques, and ergonomic preferences.

Whether you’re looking for the familiar comfort of a traditional C-shape or the advanced ergonomics of our 3D carved profiles, every Belforti neck is meticulously shaped for performance and feel.

You're about to get PLEK'd

Belforti Intonation System™

Precision Intonation. Classic Feel.

Modern strings are not ideal. They're stiff, under tension, and their behavior deviates significantly from the equal-temperament assumptions of classical fret spacing. At Belforti, we’ve engineered a solution that delivers uncompromising intonation without compromising aesthetics or playability.

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.
