About the Sarā 6HL SC – Masterbuilt - Poplar Burl
The Sarā 6HL – Masterbuilt represents a fusion of advanced ergonomics, modern construction, and rare materials. Designed as a headless instrument, it prioritizes balance, comfort, and precision while maintaining a bold visual identity defined by its dramatic poplar burl top.
The body pairs this top with an ultra-light paulownia core, keeping the instrument under 3 kg while preserving a responsive and resonant tonal foundation. Sculpted with the Vela 3D contour, the back features a flowing negative dome inspired by the shape of a sail under tension, creating both visual dynamism and improved ergonomic contact with the player.
The Norwegian maple neck incorporates Belforti’s 3D Flow Neck Profile — an asymmetrical, softly rounded shape designed to follow the natural movement of the hand. Unlike sharply faceted ergonomic necks, the Flow profile maintains continuous curves that feel fluid and natural across the entire neck.
A leopard ebony fretboard fitted with Evo Gold frets provides exceptional durability and smooth articulation. The instrument is equipped with a Riviera headless bridge system, ensuring precise tuning stability and efficient string energy transfer.
Electronics are driven by an active OBP-3 onboard preamp, offering powerful tonal shaping and extended dynamic control, making the instrument adaptable to a wide range of modern playing styles.
The Sarā 6HL Masterbuilt stands at the intersection of innovation and craftsmanship — a lightweight, ergonomically refined instrument built for players who demand precision, versatility, and distinctive design.

Overview
The M-Series is the mid range Series of Belforti's line up. These instruments represent the entry in the world of fine lutherie, with decorative tops, high performance woods and electronics, in a form factor that represents modern lutherie. They are a continuity of the E-Series design, and bridge the gap between E & S-Series.
As a part of this Series, this instrument features the following :
Master Grade Tonewoods
The Master-grade woods that are known for their stunning visual appeal as well as their tonal excellence. These aren't just any pieces of timber; they are carefully selected for their aesthetic beauty, tonal richness, and resonance.
All the Master Grade woods are rated between 81 and 90 on the Belforti rating.
Faux Pickguard Aesthetics
The faux pickguard gives the M-Series their distinctive look. It maintains this classic look and brings coherence to the design, while preserving the grain pattern. It is made out of inlayed ebony.
We could never put a piece of plastic on these, not even transparent acrylic !
Matching Premium Inlays
M-Series fretboard and headstock inlays are exclusively made out of the top wood you chose. They are extracted from the scraps of your top, and they are outline with a black inlayed ebony outline.

Core Specs
Core Specs

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

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.

Woods
Woods
Body : Pawlonia
Paulownia is an exceptionally lightweight tonewood valued for its lively resonance and comfortable playing feel. Despite its low density, it offers a balanced tonal response with clear mids, warm lows, and quick attack. Its excellent vibration transfer allows the instrument to feel responsive and open, making it ideal for ultra-light guitars without sacrificing tonal presence.
Neck : Roasted Maple
Roasted maple combines the strength and clarity of traditional maple with improved stability from the thermal treatment process. The roasting removes excess moisture and crystallizes the wood’s structure, resulting in increased dimensional stability and resistance to environmental changes. It also develops rich caramel tones while maintaining maple’s bright, articulate tonal character.
Fretboard : Leopard Ebony
Leopard ebony is a striking variety of ebony recognized for its dramatic pattern of dark brown and black spots scattered across a lighter background. Dense and stable, it provides excellent note clarity, strong articulation, and long-term durability as a fretboard material. Its distinctive “spotted” figure gives the wood a unique visual identity while maintaining the precision and reliability ebony is known for.

Top
Poplar Burl
The poplar burl top gives this Sarā 6HL Masterbuilt a striking organic presence. Known for its chaotic and highly figured grain, poplar burl reveals swirling clusters, dark eyes, and intricate patterns that form naturally within the wood. Each section of burl develops its own visual rhythm, creating a surface that feels almost sculptural.
Under a clear finish, the wood’s pale base tones contrast with darker inclusions and organic voids, producing remarkable depth and visual movement. No two pieces of poplar burl ever share the same structure, making every instrument unmistakably unique.
Beyond aesthetics, the burl top adds a sense of natural complexity that complements the instrument’s modern design language. It reflects the philosophy of the Masterbuilt Series — selecting exceptional materials where natural character becomes a central element of the instrument’s identity.
Lovely Curves
Masterbuilt Series tops are bent on the armrest which keeps intact the beautiful grain as well as creating an ergonomic and delicate curve to rest on.
Electronics
Masterbuilt instruments feature advanced electronic designs and premium pickups from some of the finest manufacturers in the world. Their circuitry is conceived for power, precision, and tonal versatility — not limited to any particular style, but capable of handling them all.
Depending on the model, you’ll find active systems on basses, expanded tonal controls, and refined wiring layouts that provide exceptional clarity, responsiveness, and creative range.
