As a part of this Series, this instrument features the following :

• Premium Grade Woods

Our Essential Series is equiped with the entry level of the Belforti Wood Library. These woods have been selected, aged, and rated according to our wood rating method.

All the Premium grade pieces are rated between 71 and 80, above most pieces found on the market, ensuring you get exceptional tonality and a beautiful aesthetic, right from the start.

• 3 Piece Neck

The Essential Series features a robust 3-piece neck construction that enhances both the instrument's stability and resonance. Utilizing three individual pieces of wood, this design approach significantly minimizes the potential for warping or twisting over time, ensuring your guitar's longevity.

• Wooden Painted Pickguard

We hate plastic, so the Essential Series comes equiped with a wooden pickguard that is painted with your Accent Color.

• Belforti Colors

Essential Series feature a Main Color and an Accent Color, chosen from our extensive library of 82 custom colorrs.

• Sarā

The Sarā body shape distills the essence of the classic S-style design into a more compact, sculpted form.
Its flowing lines, balanced offset, and seamless neck integration offer a natural feel and exceptional access — a blend of classic familiarity and modern precision.

• Number of strings : 6

The universal standard for electric and acoustic guitars. Versatile and intuitive, covering all genres and playing styles with countless tuning possibilities and ergonomic familiarity.

• Scale Length : Long 25.5"

Classic guitar scale length delivering bright response, clear attack, and balanced string tension. Standard on many iconic electric guitars, offering precision and dynamic range.

• Number of frets : 22

Traditional fret count favored for its vintage aesthetic and tonal response. Provides slightly warmer neck pickup placement and classic feel.

• Neck Profile : 3D Flow

A modern, rounded profile inspired by dynamic ergonomic design. The 3D Flow features a continuously shifting apex — offset across the neck’s length — to follow the natural rotation of the wrist as your hand moves up and down the fretboard. It encourages relaxed posture and fluid transitions, especially during position changes.

• Radius : Modern 12" to 16"

Flatter fretboard radius for fast playing, low action, and effortless bending. Ideal for technical and contemporary playing styles.

• Body : Poplar

Poplar is a light, tight-grained hardwood widely used in professional instrument building for its tonal consistency and workability. It produces a balanced, even tone with a focused midrange and a clean low end — neither as warm as mahogany nor as bright as ash, but sitting comfortably between the two in a way that suits a wide range of pickup configurations and playing styles. Its relatively light weight makes it a practical choice for full-length performances, and its fine, uniform grain takes paint finishes exceptionally well, making it the preferred body wood for solid-color builds where the finish rather than the wood is the visual statement.

• Neck : Roasted Ash

Roasting transforms ash through high-temperature, oxygen-free heat treatment — driving out moisture, stabilizing the wood, and producing a neck that behaves like decades-old seasoned timber from day one. The process tightens the grain response, adds tonal clarity and a drier, more focused fundamental, and significantly reduces sensitivity to humidity and temperature changes. The natural coloring shifts toward warm amber and caramel tones as a side effect of the treatment. A neck that feels broken in before you've even played it.

• Fretboard : Leopard Ebony

Leopard ebony — also known as Macassar ebony — is among the most visually dramatic tonewoods available for fretboard use. Its defining characteristic is its high-contrast figuring: broad streaks and patches of deep black running through a warm brown or amber base, creating a pattern that varies wildly from board to board. No two leopard ebony fretboards look alike, and highly figured pieces are considered among the most beautiful surfaces in lutherie.
