Private Stock Woods
When you reach the S-tier level, you're not just picking a guitar; you're choosing a masterpiece. Our Private Stock Woods represent the absolute pinnacle of tonal and aesthetic excellence, handpicked for their unparalleled beauty and unique sonic characteristics.
Each piece of wood in our Private Stock selection is a testament to nature's artistry, featuring mesmerizing grains, intricate patterns, and hues that seem almost too perfect to be natural. But beyond their aesthetic appeal, these woods also offer distinct and nuanced tonal profiles that can elevate your music to new heights.
All of the woods in the Private Stock score between 91 and 100 on the Belforti Rating. These pieces are extremely rare and are the results of intense researchs and sourcing.
1 piece Body or 3 pieces Body with Tone Block
With our S-tier, you have the option to choose between a one-piece natural body or a three-piece body with a specialized Tone Block.
A one-piece natural body offers unparalleled sustain and resonance. Made from a single piece of our finest, Private Stock woods, it's the hallmark of a truly unique instrument, visually arresting and sonically mesmerizing.
On the other hand, the three-piece body with a Tone Block incorporates wings made of tonewoods with a lower density, complementing a denser, stiffer central block. This design delivers a unique balance of warmth and clarity, creating a complex tonal landscape with enhanced sustain and resonance.
Any top from the Private Stock
At the S-level, we invite you to dive into the deepest reaches of our Private Stock collection for the top wood of your instrument. This is where you'll find rare, heirloom-quality woods with stunning figuring, color, and unique tonal qualities. It's not just about the visual spectacle; each piece is chosen for its ability to enhance your instrument's sonic palette.
Choose from an extensive range of options—ranging from extraordinary flame and quilted maple, to exotic woods like cocobolo and ziricote. Each selection is a journey into the world of extraordinary lutherie, unlocking a specific set of tonal characteristics that distinguish your instrument from any other.
Wrapped around inlayed top
In our relentless pursuit of excellence, the S Series introduces a groundbreaking innovation that truly sets these instruments apart—our Wrapped Around Inlayed Top. A breathtaking fusion of form and function, this design showcases not only our commitment to aesthetics but also the engineering prowess behind each Belforti creation.
Most instruments feature a flat top that terminates at the edge, clearly demarcating the boundary between the instrument's face and sides. Our Wrapped Around Inlayed Top defies this convention. The top wood doesn't just sit on the body; it seamlessly extends, wrapping around the armrest curve, and is intricately inlayed into the side of the body.
Contrast Layers - Top, Fretboard & Headstock
With the Dual Contrast Layers, available exclusively for our S-tier instruments, we introduce a nuanced, visually stunning, and acoustically impactful feature. Choose between striking black/white or elegant white/black layers that not only accentuate the contours of your instrument but also contribute to its tonal characteristics.
These carefully selected layers are more than just aesthetic upgrades. They serve as subtle bridges between the body and the top, or the neck and the fretboard, amplifying resonance and sustain while offering a rich sonic complexity.
Signature Neck Inlay
Our S Series are distinguished by a unique Signature Neck Inlay, meticulously crafted to match the theme of your fretboard inlay with precision and artistry. Using carefully selected matching wood, our inlays are designed to seamlessly integrate with the fretboard, creating a cohesive and visually stunning aesthetic. This attention to detail not only enhances the overall look of the instrument but also adds a touch of personalized elegance, making each guitar a true work of art.
EVO Gold Frets
When you choose an S-tier Belforti instrument, every detail counts, right down to the frets. That's why we equip these elite models with EVO Gold Frets.
Made from a special copper alloy, EVO Gold Frets offer a perfect blend of strength and longevity without sacrificing tonal clarity. They are remarkably resistant to wear, ensuring that your instrument stays in peak condition for years, even under heavy use.
Not only do they provide a silky-smooth playing experience, but their distinct gold color adds an extra layer of aesthetic sophistication to your instrument. They are the gold standard in frets—literally and figuratively—making them a perfect match for our S-tier guitars.
Signature Side Dots
The S Series is equipped with Signature Side Dots, designed to match the theme of your fretboard inlay. Made from the same carefully selected wood, these side dots provide a cohesive and refined appearance. Their precise placement and quality materials ensure that they are both functional and stylish, adding a subtle touch of elegance to your instrument
