Highlights
Quilt Maple Tonewood
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 X line features a comfortable c-shaped neck profile and a dual-action truss rod for dialing in the best action and feel. An aggressive cutaway also allows easy access to the upper frets, making tapping and soloing easier for those high notes.
