Belforti Sarā 6 - Essential custom boutique electric guitar, high-end tonewoods and hardware, essential design focus.

About this guitar

The Sarā 6 Essential is a six-string electric guitar built for players who want a modern, high-performance instrument without unnecessary complexity. Clean lines, serious electronics, and a playing feel that disappears under your hands — this is a working guitar designed to perform.

The poplar body is finished in Outer Space Black, a deep matte black with a subtle cool undertone that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. Against it, the leopard ebony fretboard stands in striking contrast — its wild, high-contrast figuring one of the most visually distinctive surfaces found on any instrument at any price point. The roasted ash neck adds stability and a naturally aged feel, its treatment process reducing moisture sensitivity and enhancing long-term resonance.

At the heart of the Sarā 6 Essential is Belforti's asymmetric 3D Flow neck profile — a signature geometry with no parallel edges and a continuously shifting cross-section that adapts to the natural position of the hand as it moves across the neck. There are no hard transitions, no uncomfortable edges. Just a neck that feels like it was shaped specifically for your grip.

Stainless steel frets pair with the leopard ebony surface for a fast, precise playing experience built to last. Electronics follow an HSS configuration — a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound in the bridge position alongside two SSL-4 single coils — covering clean, warm cleans through to aggressive, high-output rock tones without breaking a sweat.

The Sarā 6 Essential is a focused instrument. No excess, no compromise.

Each of our instruments is carefully handcrafted in Paris, France, using the highest standards of craftsmanship and the finest materials. At Belforti Instruments, we focus on precision and quality to create durable, high-performance guitars and basses that meet the needs of serious musicians. Every instrument is a testament to our commitment to exceptional sound and design

Outer Space Black

Matte black is one of the most demanding finishes to execute well — and one of the most striking when done right. Unlike gloss, which reflects and amplifies, a true matte surface absorbs light, giving the instrument a presence that is quiet and commanding at the same time. Outer Space Black sits at the darker, cooler end of the black spectrum — neither warm nor neutral, but deep and intentional. It shows no fingerprints, develops no shine with age, and lets the geometry of the body do the visual work. A finish for players who prefer their instrument to speak through the amp, not the light rig.

Pickups
  • Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound SSL4 & TB4

Seymour Duncan TB-4 Quarter Pound — Bridge

The TB-4 is the Trembucker-spaced version of Seymour Duncan's Quarter Pound humbucker, designed for guitars with wider string spacing at the bridge. It delivers the same high-output, thick, and present tone as the standard Quarter Pound — a strong midrange character, exceptional cut, and more aggression than a vintage-spec humbucker — in a format optimized for accurate string-to-pole alignment. Full, loud, and direct.

Seymour Duncan SSL-4 Quarter Pound Single Coil

The SSL-4 applies the Quarter Pound philosophy to a standard single-coil format — higher output, more presence, and a stronger fundamental than a vintage-spec pickup, while retaining the snap, clarity, and bell-like top end that single coils are known for. It sits well in a mix without heavy EQ, and responds cleanly to both light and aggressive playing dynamics.
