About the Konē 6 - Essential - CerussitGrau
The Konē is Belforti's answer to a simple question: what happens when you take one of the most proven electric guitar formats in history and rebuild it from the ground up with modern sensibilities? The result is an instrument that feels immediately familiar and entirely new at the same time.
The silhouette reads Telecaster — single cutaway, slab body, bolt-on neck — but the details tell a different story. The body has been reworked with improved contours and a smaller footprint, reducing weight and improving balance without sacrificing the acoustic resonance that makes the format work. The poplar body is finished in a deep matte grey — cool, understated, and precisely the kind of finish that lets the playing do the talking. A brushed black aluminium pickguard replaces the standard plastic, adding a material contrast and a rigidity to the control surface that feels immediately premium.
The birdseye maple neck carries a maple fretboard dressed with Belforti's signature falling cat sequence inlay — a recurring motif running up the neck positions that is playful without being loud, and unmistakably the workshop's own. Stainless steel frets complete a playing surface that is fast, precise, and built for the long term.
Lollar Special T pickups in neck and bridge deliver a voiced, musical take on the classic Telecaster pickup format — more refined than vintage-spec, more characterful than modern high-output. Bright, clear, and immediate, with the twang and snap the format demands and the evenness and warmth that studio and stage work require.
The Konē is the first of its model. A new chapter in the Belforti lineup, built on a foundation that has proven itself for decades.

Woods
Woods
Body : Alder
Alder is a lightweight, closed-grain hardwood known for its uniform density and stability. Its relatively soft texture makes it easy to machine and finish. Alder vibrates evenly across its surface, producing a balanced energy response. It is a standard choice for electric guitars due to its consistency and reliability.
Neck : Norwegian Maple
Maple is a classic neck wood prized for its density, stiffness, and stability. It offers a snappy response and clean vibration transfer. Its medium weight and closed grain provide excellent resistance to warping. Maple is highly reliable for precision neck construction and offers a bright, clean visual aesthetic.
Fretboard : Indian Rosewood
Indian Rosewood is a dense, oily hardwood with a naturally smooth feel. Its open pores provide excellent grip and tactile comfort. Highly stable across climates, it resists wear and moisture absorption. Its dark brown hues often feature subtle figuring, giving fretboards a warm and classic visual appearance.

Black Brushed Aluminium Pickguard & Plate
Colors
Cerussit Grau
Cerussite Grey is borrowed directly from the Mercedes-Benz automotive palette — a cool, mineral grey with a blue-stone undertone that sits at the darker end of the grey spectrum without tipping into black. In matte, it loses all reflectivity and takes on a dense, almost chalky presence that changes character entirely depending on the light source. Under stage lighting it reads almost charcoal; in daylight it reveals its cool, complex undertone. A finish with automotive-grade precision applied to a handbuilt instrument — the kind of detail that rewards a second look.
Electronics
The Essential Series comes equiped with our Classic Electronics.
It is meant to fit in any ensemble, any genre and to be as easy and straightforward as possible.
Fully passive circuits with simple controls.
More time to play, less time to worry about your sound
Pickups
Lollar Special T
The Lollar Special T is a refined interpretation of the classic Telecaster pickup — voiced for players who want the essential character of the format without its rougher edges. Wound to a slightly higher output than vintage spec, it delivers more body and warmth in the low-mids while retaining the brightness, snap, and note definition the Telecaster bridge position is known for. The neck pickup balances clarity with a smooth, even response across the string range. Together, the pair covers the full range of the format — from glassy clean tones to biting, present lead sounds — with a consistency and musicality that rewards both careful listening and aggressive playing.
