Belforti Instruments
Belforti Instruments is a Paris-based boutique guitar maker specializing in premium handcrafted electric guitars and basses. Each instrument is a fusion of French craftsmanship, cutting-edge design, and uncompromising precision. Driven by innovation and guided by tradition, Belforti’s creations stand apart with bold aesthetics, advanced engineering, and deep customization. From minimalist elegance to exotic woodwork and avant-garde finishes, every model reflects a distinct visual and sonic identity. Customers can configure their instruments through an intuitive 3D interface, choosing from an exclusive palette of colors, wood species, hardware options, and finishes — including unique materials like wooden pickup shells or compressed coffee-ground pickguards. More than a guitar brand, Belforti is a philosophy — building instruments that are not only tools, but personal extensions of their players. Each guitar or bass is born in the Montrouge or Rueil-Malmaison workshops through a rigorous process involving CNC precision, traditional handwork, scientific wood analysis (including BING testing), and meticulous finishing. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a tone enthusiast seeking the extraordinary, Belforti offers more than an instrument — it offers a story, shaped by vision, hands, and the enduring spirit of French lutherie.

Ampeg
Yamaha Guitar Group, Inc. (YGG) acquired the Ampeg brand in 2018—bringing it under the same roof as Yamaha basses/guitars/amplifiers and digital innovators Line 6. Honoring 70+ years of celebrated Ampeg history and the 50th anniversary of the amplifier that put Ampeg on the rock ‘n’ roll map, the first thing developed by YGG was the Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT, a product that quickly became one of the most requested amplifiers amongst touring artists and backline companies. Moving forward while at the same time embracing its legacy, Ampeg introduced a completely redesigned series of Rocket Bass combo amplifiers in 2021. Besides sporting the company’s new Super Grit Technology circuit (dubbed SGT), these combos are considerably lighter than previous Rocket Bass amps. Gazing into the future of bass amplification and anticipating the needs of bassists of all levels and styles, YGG and Ampeg continue to push analog and digital technologies to their limits—an effort that has already resulted in the SVT Suite bass amp and effects plugin.
