E5
The E5 French Lilac is a guitar that balances refined aesthetics with versatile performance, crafted with care to meet the needs of dedicated musicians. Its soft yet distinctive French Lilac finish gives the instrument a unique presence, subtly shifting in character depending on the light, and complemented by an elegant Aged Mountbatten Rose accent. Visually, it’s a statement piece — understated yet unmistakable.
Built from lightweight swamp ash, the body provides a resonant and lively tone, while the Norwegian maple neck and fretboard ensure solid stability and a smooth playing surface. The guitar’s 25.5-inch scale length and 22 medium frets allow for clear articulation and excellent sustain, while the comfortable S-profile neck fits naturally in hand for long playing sessions without fatigue.
Whether you’re exploring melodic leads or driving rhythms, the E5 French Lilac delivers a clear, balanced sound across its range. The modern 12"-16" compound radius supports both expressive solos and confident chord work, making it well-suited for a wide variety of styles.
Every detail, from the rounded block inlays to the overall design balance, reflects Belforti’s commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship. The E5 French Lilac is more than an instrument — it’s a reliable, expressive companion for any musical journey.
