YATE Model | Custom Modern Guitar – Belforti Instruments Paris

Depth. Drive. Definition.

The YATĒ is the powerful evolution of the SARĀ platform — a compact, dual-humbucker instrument engineered for depth, punch, and absolute precision.

Sculpted with the same attention to balance and ergonomics, YATĒ trades the offset curves of the SARĀ for a more symmetrical double-cut design, giving it a bolder, more focused stance.

Its presence is unmistakably modern: dense, grounded, and capable of delivering a deep, articulate tone that responds instantly to every nuance of your playing.

Purpose-Built for Power

Compact form. Monumental sound.

Where the SARĀ evokes fluidity and air, the YATĒ channels weight and authority.

Its dual-humbucker configuration captures the full harmonic spectrum — from smooth cleans to percussive lows and saturated drive — with a clarity that cuts through dense mixes.

A compact body ensures excellent balance on strap or lap, while the refined neck joint and sculpted heel provide unrestricted upper-fret access.

Every curve, contour, and proportion was refined to deliver strength without excess, and precision without rigidity.

Refined Construction. Aggressive Potential.

The elegance of control, the strength of intent.

YATĒ shares the same foundation as every Belforti design:

digitally modeled for perfect geometry, CNC-machined to micron accuracy, and hand-finished until the last fret feels invisible under your hand.

The guitar’s modern geometry and low-profile ergonomics make it equally at home in drop tunings or extended-range formats, while custom Belforti pickups provide the tonal backbone — tight bass, open mids, and crystalline high end, all responsive to your touch and dynamics.
