What goes into a Belle Guitar?
At Belle Guitars we utilize a variety of premium material to build our instruments. From hand-selected tonewoods to high-quality hardware, each guitar is a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation.
Some favorites are Roasted Maple, and Rosewood for necks with Roasted Alder, Roasted Ash for the bodies. For hardware such as tuners and bridges Gotoh is our go to!
Powering these guitars are GGG pickups which are wound inhouse to 1950s and 1960s golden era guitar specs before being wired to premium CTS pots,CRL Switches and NOS vintage capacitors with Vintage spec cloth wire.
Coming in a wide variety of traditional and modern colours we even offer left handed versions of our guitars at no extra cost! At Belle Guitars our standard is hand crafted Custom shop quality that will keep you reaching for our guitars again and again.

Currently, we offer the choice of Canadian Roasted Maple or Rosewood for our necks that we pair with a premium Alder or Ash body. Completing these guitars, we use Gotoh tuners and tremolo with nickel and chrome hardware.
Every one of our guitars is finished with Nitrocellulose lacquer before undergoing a multistep process to age it and give it that played in feeling just like it’s been played for the last 60 years.
