Belltone Guitars Unveils B-Classic 3 Guitar

Belltone Guitars offers the B-Classic 3, featuring a custom two-post S-Style ‘tremolo’ bridge and a wide selection of pickup options.


The B-Classic 3 is the newest guitar from Belltone Guitars. The BC3 model retains the core single-cutaway profile as found with Belltone’s B-Classic 1 and B-Classic 2 models. The B-Classic 3 body is made of alder wood and has body and armcontours and an ‘easy-access’ tapered neck pocket. The BC3 features the introduction of a custom-made, two-post S-Style ‘tremolo’ bridge with brass.

All Belltone® guitars feature a wide selection of pickup options that deliver diverse sonic character and tonality.

Along with the body shape, the available neck profiles, headstock, and hardware, all reflect the Belltone design perspective and aesthetic. The company’s Custom-Select System affords the guitarist the opportunity to choose from a carefully curated collection of components and design elements such as body color, pickguard color, pickups, neck profile and fingerboard, tuners, etc. to put their own "signature" on the look and sound of the guitar.

While the pedal builders at Sehat Effectors are in the game for their love of the 6-string, they’ve since begun exploring what effects pedals mean to other kinds of instrumentalists.

This time, I’d like to share my perspective as a pedal builder on how our effects pedals—originally crafted with guitarists in mind—are experiencing an exciting evolution in use. Our customer base spans around the globe, and as it turns out, many of them aren’t guitarists. Instead, our pedals are finding their way into the hands of non-guitarist musicians like DJs, synth players, movie sound directors, and even drummers. Yes, a drummer once used one of my fuzz pedals in a drum miking setup—quite an extreme yet bold experiment! This made me wonder: How did such a phenomenon come about?
