Forte Port

6-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Forte Port is an exclusive innovation on the traditional acoustic guitar, with a newly-engineered top bracing and soundhole placement for improved performance. This Port Technology gives the instrument more volume, a richer sound, and a personal sound port on the side so you can monitor your own playing more effectively. With an aggressive cutaway for easier access to the higher frets and a zero-end pin bridge for easy restringing, the Forte Port is built for players' comfort.

Highlights

  • Unique Port Construction

    Michael Kelly guitars are built to deliver the best possible sound using unique bracing and construction for new sound port placements on the instrument. An offset front port creates an unbroken and potent “soundboard” across the top between the neck and the bridge for better resonance and a louder sound. A side port also acts as a personal monitor, projecting sound up so you can hear your playing more clearly.

    Supreme Playability

    The Forte Port is built with performers in mind. An ovangkol fretboard on a Comfort C profile mahogany neck makes fretting easy on the hands, with mini-dots to make finding the right notes simple even under low-light conditions. An aggressive cutaway gives ample access to the upper frets, and the 25.5-inch scale length will have any guitar player feeling right at home on this instrument.
